NetBox version

v3.3.2

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

I maintain the Netbox environment for the company I work for. I got a question if it was possible to add interface types to Netbox. I told them that out of the box it is not possible. But I did find out that I can edit the choises.py file and add the requested interfaces from there. But I need to copy those changes after each Netbox update.

Would it be possible to have an include file? So I can make the changes wanted by my colleague in that file, and with a Netbox update I only need to copy the files. Instead of going thru the file again to see where I made the changes.

Use case

Netbox users are then able to add interfaces them self. If a interfaces is out of the scope of Netbox, like SAS, the user is still able to add these interfaces, and is responsible for his own changes.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response
