Originally created by @Nealtron on GitHub (Mar 12, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.4.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Create a new data point for both device module slots and modules that would could be used to filter compatible modules based on form factor.

I understand that this can get wildly complicated, but I'd recommend limiting this iteration to some form of field or tag matching.

Use case

To filter out incompatible devices when attempting to assign a module to a device, especially when that device uses an industry standard spot and accepts modules form many manufacturers.

Ex1: Prevents an SFP from being "installed" into a PSU slot.
Ex2: Makes it easier to find all compatible LGX fiber optic modules that are manufactured by dozens of companies.
