NetBox version

3.5.0

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

When I try to bulk import circuits, attribute "Provider_account" is required.
As it is not mandatory when create circuits one by one, I was wondering if this is not some kind of bug or something.
More over, we are not using provider accounts at all.

Even though, I create a dummy provider account it must be attached to the provider itself.
Also, every provider name must be unique value, so I cannot create provider accounts with the same name (like Default) for each provider.
Having different account names for each provider is not working for me as I cannot easily match circuits with providers and their respective provider accounts. It would take me more time than to create circuits from scratch.

Expected Behavior

Expected behaviour for me would be provider accounts to be not required when bulk import circuits.

Observed Behavior

Provider account is required when bulk import circuits;
Provider account name must be unique when bulk import, even though I'm allowed to create/import multiple provider accounts with the same name.
