NetBox version

v3.6.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Hi

Let's add configurable choices to the dcim.PowerFeed.type field.
I've made appropriate changes to netbox/dcim/choices.py on our Netbox installation.
Now configuration.py accepts this config, for example:

FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'dcim.PowerFeed.type': (
        ('primary', 'Primary', 'blue'),
        ('redundant','Redundant', 'red'),
    ),
}

I'm ready to make pull

Use case

Power cables in our DC center have different colors for primary and backup power supply.
I think it's good practice to have these colors match the NETBOX.

Database changes

No response

I appreciate the use case for adding colors, but we could do that internally without extending the choices. I don't see a use case for altering or extending the feed types themselves, and allowing that may preclude future functionality that relies on known values.
