@opensourceXnetbox - This functionality is available, but it's under the interfaces tab of a specific device, not under the global device interfaces list.

See the demo site for an example: https://demo.netbox.dev/dcim/devices/1/interfaces/

Hey @tagur87, yes i know and usually ich will update my interface names via api. But in this case, i will bulk update the interface names from more than one device over GUI, its not possible.

Gotcha, I wondered if that's what you wanted. But wanted to make sure you saw the option under the device.

I'll take a look at how difficult it is to implement.

@tagur87 really cool, thanks!

I looked it over for about an hour or so, and it's a bit more than I'm capable of. The interfaces view uses the object_list base template. It would be quite a bit of work to update that to be like devices. Probably better for a maintainer to do than me.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2023):

IMO it wouldn't make sense to support this ability for interfaces but not for other device components. We already support bulk renaming under the device-based views for all component types. If we're going to extend this to the global list views as well, we should be consistent.
