NetBox version

v3.3.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

It would be nice to have conditions for custom fields, that dedice when the field will be visible (or disabled/enabled) in create/edit/show mask or can be filled by API.

2 examples:

  • a custom field in dcim.devices like "HPE Support URL", should only be visible/editable, if the condition manufacturer name "HPE" is matching.
  • a custom field in virtualization.virtual-machines like "VNC Port" should only be visible/editable, if the cluster type is "KVM".

Use case

For instances that have a lot of custom fields, this would make it easier to keep the overview in the UI and prohibit accidentally filled custom fields. In my example, i have an automation behind netbox and from time to time, the users are filling custom fields which only apply for other device types. This results in problems with the scripts of the automation.
