NetBox version

v4.0.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Update the structure of the text for the "Installed Module" column of the "Device Bays" tab of a device.

  • Remove the text at the start of the string up to the colon and space. This is a duplication of the string which already appears in the "Name" column.
  • Remove the number in brackets at the end of the string. This is the backend/database id for the object and has limited relevance to front-end users. Value can be derived in other ways for API users.

Use case

Reduce duplication and clutter in the user interface.

Database changes

none

External dependencies

none

I think they are actually referring to Module Bays, not Device Bays and want to get rid of the slot and ID info in the Installed Module column, arguing the information is redundant.
