NetBox version

v3.7.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When creating a config template, it would be useful if the jinja2 whitespace trimming feature (trim_blocks and lstrip_blocks) could be toggled on and off.
Currently, only manual trimming is available and it's a tedius task, especially with long config files.

Use case

We're currently implementing templates for our switch configs. To keep those templates somewhat readable and understandable (Jinja2 can be quite a mess sometimes) without needing to check every control clause for manual trimming, a switch to control this behavior would be really useful.

This is achieved by passing the relevant Jinja2 environment parameters when creating the config template.
