NetBox version

v3.6.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Nowadays, if you do an export of DCIM > Platform (e.g.) and try to import it later in any other instance with a running NetBox, it will have an error saying there is no because the field is not present in that visualization, but it's not exacly that.

The problem is that there is Fields starting with a capital letter and it may have a different display name.

The error:
image

The data (exported into a CSV):
image.

The fields:
image

Isn't there a way to do such and export option that will allow us to import using the adequate fields? At least the ones that do not depend on others or vice versa. If so, I believe it would be a great feature, without having to create a custom template.

It would be helpful, because nowadays it only works after getting rid and adapting some fields from the CSV and this is time consuming.

Ps: I'm new to NetBox and english is not my first language

Use case

  • Import some table into another NetBox instance
  • Work over the exported data and maybe getting back on (bulk edit)
  • Backup some specific table, without having to backup the database itself or accessing it

Database changes
