Originally created by @andrewm659 on GitHub (Mar 7, 2023).

NetBox version

3.4.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When adding a virtual machine change the memory from a input box to a drop down to allow the size of the ram to be MB/GB/TB/PB and ZB maybe?

Use case

Would make entering in mcahines manually a bit easier than having to remember the full numerical output of memory in Kilobytes.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2023):

This seems like an alternative to #8347, which proposes the ability to specify the unit in text (e.g. 8gb) as opposed to using a separate dropdown to select the unit. IMO either approach is valid.

There's a similar pattern specifying device type weights, where the user specifies a numeric value and selects the appropriate unit (e.g. kilograms or pounds), however in that case it's necessary to have a separate selector as we store the unit itself in the database.

Either way works for me.

Ok, I'm going to close this as I see a separate dropdown was also mentioned as a potential solution under #8347. Please feel free to add any additional comments to that FR.
