Treatment of kind field on JournalEntry is inconsistent

Deployment Type

NetBox Cloud

NetBox Version

v4.2.5

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

1. View a site and click the "Journal" tab.
2. Add a journal entry without specifying a kind.

Expected Behavior

The kind field should always be required (AFAICT):

class JournalEntry(...):
    kind = models.CharField(
        verbose_name=_('kind'),
        max_length=30,
        choices=JournalEntryKindChoices,
        default=JournalEntryKindChoices.KIND_INFO
    )

Observed Behavior

The kind field is not required by either the model's form or its REST API serializer.

class JournalEntryForm(NetBoxModelForm):
    kind = forms.ChoiceField(
        label=_('Kind'),
        choices=add_blank_choice(JournalEntryKindChoices),
        required=False
    )

class JournalEntrySerializer(NetBoxModelSerializer):
    kind = ChoiceField(
        choices=JournalEntryKindChoices,
        required=False
    )

When a journal entry is created via the REST API, its kind defaults to info if not specified, which is expected. The REST API will not permit kind to be empty or null.

However, a journal entry created via the web form can be created with no kind. This needs to be corrected in the form.
