NetBox version

v3.4.1

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

Creating based on Q&A discussion item #11370. I see an issue was not opened for this. This feature is useful for other users in our instance since we use a template with predefined field options / custom field options in the import file.

On the Devices Import page, the option to import from a CSV file is missing.

For example, on IP Address import that option is present:

Expected Behavior

Import tab is available on the Devices Import page to import a CSV file.

Observed Behavior

The import tab is missing.

Could we expand this to make sure we get options to upload "racked devices" as well as "child_devices"?

I took a brief look at this earlier today. Ideally I'd like to remove the "child devices" tab altogether but it wasn't immediately apparent whether it's still necessary to maintain a separate view & form to import child devices specifically.

yeah - I would prefer 1 form to handle either child or parent... It is interesting that when adding a child device manually you do not have to enter a host device or device bay.... so it is inconsitent already....

Thank-you so much for adding device CSV file upload. I just tested device import vua Upload File in v3.4.5 and found that the 1st field in the import is always skipped.
I worked around it by adding a blank field to the CSV file as below. Would be nice to fix this bug.
e.g. this works.
,name,device_role,manufacturer,device_type,status,site,location,rack,position,face
,Arcot,Server,Sun Microsystems,Netra T5220,active,Bangalore,BLR-Row X107,X107Y01,12,front

e.g. the below imports successfully, but the device name is not populated.
name,device_role,manufacturer,device_type,status,site,location,rack,position,face
Arcot,Server,Sun Microsystems,Netra T5220,active,Bangalore,BLR-Row X107,X107Y01,12,front
