I have two SFPs loaded in Inventory Items.

Unfortunately "Add a new inventory item" does not allow to add or remove SFP serial number F87865 but only to create a completely new one

This is quite an unfortunate solution when you have hundreds of SFP modules in "Inventory Items" and you can't add them to the port.

It would certainly be useful to implement this in the API as well
