NetBox version

v3.5.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, if someone accidentally connects a cable to the rear port instead of the front port, the entire cable must be deleted and created again. It would be nice to be able to change not only the port number but also the location (front/rear) when editing the cable. This might just be an ui change as the api seems to allow to change it.

Use case

It is not necessary to delete the cable and enter all information (label, length etc) again. You can just reconnect it.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

More broadly , same applies if you need to change termination type (front , rear , interface etc.) of one end you have to delete cable (and lose history)

This would be very helpful. One of our team members spent a whole day entering cable terminations in the wrong direction, and being able to edit this instead of starting over would be fantastic.
