Unracked devices are labeled "None"

[llamafilm]

netbox-reorder-rack version

v1.1.1

Python version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new rack
2. Add 1 or more devices to the rack without a position
3. Click reorder rack

Expected Behavior

It should show the same label as the /dcim/racks/xxx page and respect the labels vs images preference.

Observed Behavior

All the unracked devices are labeled "None" so it's impossible to identify them

After further review, it looks like this issue only happens when the device is unnamed.

Possible requirement for ability to cope with empty device names, however what field could be used as an identifier - ID is obvious but does not help usability; description would be potentially be too long.

For consistent user experience, I would expect this to work the same as other rack elevation views, where it shows the device description.

There is an open FR for custom labels. If this gets implemented, I would hope it applies here too. netbox-community/netbox#14205

[Azmodeszer]

NetBox normally shows the Device Type name for unnamed devices in the rack elevation view.

Oops, yes that’s what I meant.
