Originally created by @ShadowCipher09 on GitHub (Nov 22, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.6.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Could it be that when a device_type is modified, the devices of that "device_type" are modified, even though they are already created? That is to say, that the devices already made are updated

Use case

Keeping the devices updated or giving the option of when a device_type to update the old ones or not, if not I have to modify the existing ones one by one and when I have more than 300 it is very heavy...

Database changes

Perform an update of the devices already created

External dependencies

No response

Well, it depends on how you would want to handle changed or linked objects.
E.g. having 2 Network-Interfaces and deleting one, what should happen if both of them are connected?

@gdprdatasubect this is precisely why the functionality does not exist today. NetBox should never make assumptions on behalf of the user. It has been discussed at length in previous issues, and no workable implementation has been proposed.
