Cloning a device type does not clone any interface or component #7865

Originally created by @TnTBass on GitHub (Apr 5, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.4.7

Python version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select an existing device type with interfaces, console ports and power ports
  2. Select "Clone"
  3. Name your new device type

Expected Behavior

I would expect a clone of the device type to come with all interfaces/ports/etc for easier editing. There is no benefit to cloning a template over creating a brand new one.

Observed Behavior

Discover no interfaces, console ports or power ports come pre-populated

This is expected behavior, and consistent with the cloning of every other object type in NetBox. Replicating every related component has been proposed (see #5536) but no one has ever volunteered to own its implementation. You're welcome to open a new FR for it if you'd like to volunteer.

This was proposed in https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4065 and again in https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/5536 and https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8840, but no one was interested in owning the implementation.

Edit: @jeremystretch beat me to it :D
