NetBox version

v3.7.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

From a Power Port page, when I click the blue button to connect it to a Power Outlet, the B Side dropdown shows a huge list of all devices. I suggest automatically filtering this list by power_outlets=true.

Use case

From a Power Port page, when I click the blue button to connect it to a Power Outlet, the B Side dropdown shows a huge list of all devices which makes it hard to find what I'm looking for. It would be easier to use if it only showed devices like PDU, UPS, etc. I realize this is already possible if I open the "select device" dialog but that adds an extra step for no reason.

The same logic applies when connecting an ethernet cable to an interface, it should filter by interfaces=true.
