Originally created by @lucafabbri365 on GitHub (May 24, 2024).

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.0.3

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Device Type with an Interface containing a Description
  2. Create a Device from Device Type
  3. Description is not reported on Device's Interface

Expected Behavior

I expect that the value of the Description field in an Interface defined in the Device Type will also be reflected in the Device (created from that Device Type).

Observed Behavior

Description in Device's Interface is empty.

This is working as intended. It would not make sense to replicate the description from the interface template, as every such interface would end up with an identical description. The description field on the interface template is for any comments relating to the template; the description field on the interface is for a value to be configured on the interface in operation.

The `description` field on the interface template is for any comments relating to the template; the `description` field on the interface is for a value to be configured on the interface in operation.
