NetBox version

v3.4.2

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

  1. create A inventory item with name "item1" in some device (for example with id 32):
    a_item = nb.dcim.inventory_items.create(device = 32, name = 'item1')

  2. create B inventory item with name "item1" in same device (with id 32):
    b_item = nb.dcim.inventory_items.create(device = 32, name = 'item1')

  3. create C inventory item with name "parent" in same device (with id 32):
    c_item = nb.dcim.inventory_items.create(device = 32, name = 'parent')

  4. add C item as parent to A item and save
    a_item.parent = c_item['id']
    a_item.save()
    True

  5. add C item as parent to B item and save

b_item.save()
True

Observed Behavior

This is intended behavior: Each child item must have a unique name. Otherwise, it may be impossible to distinguish between them.
