NetBox version

v3.4.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

NetBox v3.5 will introduce the ability to replicate data from remote sources, such as a git repository (see #11558). We can leverage this ability to streamline the bulk import process, enabling a user to select an existing remote file as an alternative to submitting a local file for upload.

The implementation I envision would comprise three tabs under the bulk import view for a model:

  • Direct import (text box)
  • File upload
  • Remote file

Under the third tab, the user can select a remote data source and the desired file, the submit the form. The remote file's data will be used in place of uploaded data. In the event of an error, we could either ask the user to select a different file, or replicate the file content under the first tab for modification.

Use case

In a scenario where the user has prepared a large amount of data to be imported, it may be quicker for them to replicate a remote repository rather than downloading and uploading each file manually.
