NetBox version

v3.3.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When a custom field is changed the changelog shows the entire dict of custom_fields is marked as changed. This is correct but it would be nice to have a diff of the custom_fields instead of the whole updated dict.

Work around is copy paste the dicts to https://www.jsondiff.com/

Use case

When having a lot of custom_fields it is not quite visible what has been changed.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None,

This seems like it's captured by https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/10924, which proposes the same idea but for the entire diff body.
