NetBox version

3.3.10

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add separate fields for country, country + province/state, city, and postal/zip code.

Use case

For issue #9617, how about using RFC8805 as the reason to have specific fields for the country, country + province/state, city, and postal/zip code. Geofeeds are important when it comes to having geo IP database vendors like MaxMind poll in data changes on a periodic basis.

I am totally in support for this improvement. I had to rely on using google places ID in a customfield to be able to reliably store address information in a reliable form.

An alternative would be to write address in yaml ? But then end users could mess up the format and we end up with parsing errors... Unless using custom validators?... Down goes the rabbit hole 😄
