Hello @fikusir ,
I provide them via terraform

resource "netbox_device" "test" {
  name           = "HP1"
  device_type_id = 1
  role_id        = 1
  site_id        = 1
}

Role with ID 1 exists. To test it further I put a non existent ID for device_type and I get a "not found" for that ID.See the error below, I get nothing for role_id. It is like I haven't provided it. One other thing to notice is that device_type is referred as it should be but the device_role is referred plainly as role. Could this be an issue ?

Error: [POST /dcim/devices/][400] dcim_devices_create default map[device_type:[Related object not found using the provided numeric ID: 223] role:[This field is required.]]

Thank you for opening a bug report. I was unable to reproduce the reported behavior on NetBox v3.7.0. Please re-confirm the reported behavior on the current stable release and adjust your post above as necessary. Remember to provide detailed steps that someone else can follow using a clean installation of NetBox to reproduce the issue. Remember to include the steps taken to create any initial objects or other data.

Apart from the canned message, you should provide the steps using CURL commands for us to be able to help us. Any other libraries are out of scope and any bugs should be raised on the respective repo.

Hello @abhi1693,
thanks for replying.

  1. I had a clean install of netbox on docker.
  2. Created a user
  3. Added a token for the user
  4. Run the terraform deployment.
    I followed these steps for both 3.7.0 and all from the v3.6 range but all of the fail. I am able to create the device in version 3.5.9 and before. I then see there are breaking changes regarding v3.6.0 about the device_role. I will take it with the TF provider. Thanks !
