NetBox version

v3.4.4

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create "Custom Field" dcim.device with name "123"
  2. Create "Custom Field" dcim.device with name "aaa"
  3. Update and add some value on custom field "aaa"
  4. Remove custom field "123"
  5. Reupdate custom field "aaa", and showing error, like https://demo.netbox.dev/dcim/devices/148/edit/
    image
  6. custom field has been deleted
    image

Expected Behavior

  • Custom field deleted and not pop up error

Observed Behavior

  • I just check documentation, its correct just "should consist only of alphanumeric characters and underscores" , but as human error suddenly we can create numeric as customfield name
    image

  • Maybe adding checking to reject numeric on customfield name

  • And how to force remove custom_field "123", causing error every update value ?

Thank youu
