Deployment Type

Triage priority

N/A

NetBox Version

v4.1.6

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the Cable Bulk Import screen
2. Try to enter data for a termination of type dcim.powerfeed
3. The fields side_a_device and side_b_device are required fields, but are not relevant for that termination type.

Expected Behavior

Cables can be bulk imported with a termination_type of dcim.powerfeed and scoped by the associated power panel.

Observed Behavior

Device is a required field, but not applicable for the dcim.powerfeed termination type. A power panel field is not available to scope the termination name.

Unfortunately, the information you have provided is not sufficient for someone else to attempt to reproduce the reported behavior. Remember, each bug report must include detailed steps that someone else can follow on a clean, empty NetBox installation to reproduce the exact problem you're experiencing. These instructions should include the creation of any involved objects, any configuration changes, and complete accounting of the actions being taken. Also be sure that your report does not reference data on the public NetBox demo, as that is subject to change at any time by an outside party and cannot be relied upon for bug reports.

However, this is a similar bug to what is presented in #17954 and has a similar resolution as what is proposed in #17995.

I volunteer on fixing this case if that resolution is accepted.

This seems like a duplicate of #17954. Will close this accordingly if no objections.

[sleepinggenius2]

This is a similar issue, but I was asked to open a new one for this use case specifically.

OK, I missed that context.
