Originally created by @YoucefYousfi on GitHub (Oct 18, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.6.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When using the bulk import feature to update, allow users to identify devices with asset_tag, since it's also a unique identifier.

Use case

In our usage of Netbox, we identify devices with their asset_tag, which is common with other applications. Because of that, our users aren't too familiar with the id field, and mainly use asset_tag to identify the devices. This would allow them to easily use the bulk update feature without having to extract the IDs massively before doing a bulk update.
