NetBox version

v3.6.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I'd like to record when ContactAssignments are created and considered doing this with a Custom Field, but I cannot currently create a Custom Field on a ContactAssignment.

Use case

I have a requirement for certain processes to be completed within a set number of days after a device is allocated to a user. I am hoping to use assign Contacts to a device to record this allocation. I need to be able to easily record when that assignment takes place such that I can then ensure my required process occurs within the required number of days.

This use case is niche enough that I was going to do it using Custom Fields, but I cannot currently add Custom Fields to the ContactAssignment model.

Database changes

Addition of custom fields to the ContactAssignment model

External dependencies
