Originally created by @betadrome on GitHub (Apr 25, 2024).

NetBox version

v3.7.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

This feature will be affect all models to be created.

I would like to be able to create model dependencies directly in the model to be created.

Current workflow via the GUI:

  1. create device
  2. create "Device role", "Device Type" and "Site" in a new browser tab
  3. jump back to the device creation
  4. select newly created models
  5. complete the creation of the device

I wish the following workflow in the future:

  1. create device
  2. all dependency models or simply all models have a plus button for creating a model within a model
  3. an overlay page pops up where I can make exactly the same settings as directly under the specific model
  4. the new model can now be created
  5. the new model is now directly preselected and I don't have to search for it
  6. complete the creation of the device

Here are two design options:
Option 1:
2024-04-25-netbox-add-button-1

Option 2:
2024-04-25-netbox-add-button-2

Popup:
2024-04-25-netbox-add-button-popup

Use case

This feature affects all models with creation functionality. It helps to create new devices, sites and so forth, faster and with more overview.

Database changes

i don't think so

External dependencies

i don't think so
