NetBox version

v3.4.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Display the SSID instead of the pk when displaying wireless links. This would replicate the function of the label on cables.

Currently it looks like this:

Where this FR suggests displaying it like so if a SSID is set:

The same change would be made to the title of the wireless display object details view.

Use case

It's very rarely useful to have an object displayed by it's PK. Displaying the SSID instead would make it easier to get an idea of what wireless link is used.

If accepted I'll implement it.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None
