NetBox version

v3.4.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, changes to any custom field highlights all custom fields in the diff. This makes drilling down exactly what changed difficult, especially for objects with many custom fields. I propose to modify behavior so only changed custom fields are highlighted.

Use case

  • For objects with many custom fields, the current diff and highlight behavior makes it hard to see at a glance which custom field (or fields) have changed. Highlighting only those that have changed will make this easier, and is more semantic—it's counter-intuitive to highlight any item in a diff that hasn't actually changed.
