Originally created by @v0tti on GitHub (Nov 9, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.3.2

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new Contact Role "Foo"
  2. Create a new Contact "Bar" and try to assign it to the Contact Role "Foo"

Expected Behavior

I expect to be able to assign the Contact "Bar" to the Contact Role "Foo".

Observed Behavior

There is no field to assign a Contact to a Contact Role.
This is consistent with documentation where no assignment field for Contact Roles is mentioned, however I don't think Contact Roles can be used in any other way. In my understanding Contact Roles should behave like Contact Groups.

Contacts are assigned a role when attached to an object, not individually. For example, a person might be an administrative contact for one site but a billing contact for another.

Well that's not very clear from documentation than. Maybe it can be improved.
Additionally, Contact Roles have a link to "Assignments" which link to /tenancy/contacts/?role=<role>. That does not seem to be correct if I understand you correctly. Should I open another issue?
