NetBox version

v3.2.3

Python version

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install netbox
  2. Add a rack
  3. Add a new device to the rack
  4. Add an interface to the device and press enter instead of clicking on the Create button
  5. It will refresh the page instead of redirecting to redirect_url

Observed Behavior

The website redirects to the same page again as if "create & add another" was clicked

looks like it was resolved just for that form and not for the rest

Thank you for opening a bug report. Unfortunately, the information you have provided is not sufficient for someone else to attempt to reproduce the reported behavior. Remember, each bug report must include detailed steps that someone else can follow on a clean, empty NetBox installation to reproduce the exact problem you're experiencing. These instructions should include the creation of any involved objects, any configuration changes, and complete accounting of the actions being taken. Also be sure that your report does not reference data on the public NetBox demo, as that is subject to change at any time by an outside party and cannot be relied upon for bug reports.

@jeremystretch
There are too many forms to list, I can't list all of them, but here are a few:

  • Add interface to device
  • Add IP to interface
  • Add inventory item to device
  • Add console port to device
  • Add power port to device

Basically, any form that has redirect_url in the URL and has more than one submit button (i.e, both Create and Create & Add Another or Save and Save & Continue Editing)

You can see the github issue I've mentioned in the previous reply for more information, you've resolved this in the past for only one form.

You only need to use one as an example. The key is to provide exact instructions that someone else can follow to confirm whether or not they can reproduce the bug.

  1. It will refresh the page instead of redirecting to redirect_url

This is not accurate. The form is being submitted using the "Create & Add Another" submission button, because it appears before the regular "Create" button. The interface is being created successfully (as indicated by the success message), and the user is redirected back to the interface creation page.

I'm not sure what the intent was re: #7823 but it should never be necessary to use Javascript to submit the form.

All we need to do to make the "create"/"save" button default is to reorder the buttons so that it appears first.
