NetBox version

v3.5-beta1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add "create" links to the navigation menu for cables and wireless links. This was previously not possible because rendering the creation form required some contextual information about the terminations, however recent improvements (#11625, #10054) have unlocked this ability.

Use case

Provides a more convenient path to creating these objects.

Database changes

@decoupca this is going to be more involved than it likely appears: The cable creation view and form need to be rewritten to accommodate dynamic changes using HTMX.

@decoupca I'm afraid not. This will need to be entirely original work. Do you still want to take it?

Thanks -- I don't think I can handle this in a timely manner. I'll leave this to more experienced folks.

Rescuing from auto-closure. Let's revisit in light of #12128 now being completed, perhaps that work lightens the lift somewhat?
