NetBox version

v3.5.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Make the search field when selecting devices for adding cables consider the Netbox internal IDs too.
Currently:
grafik
Proposed:
grafik

Use case

When adding cables between devices via the NetBox Web-Interface (especially on mobile) there are more steps required than pre v3.5, which makes the experience not as fast, especially in bigger environments.

This FR aims to improve the handling of unnamed devices and help people that remember stuff via IDs

Database changes

Probably none

External dependencies

Probably none
