[ ] Feature request
[x] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.2.9

Description

The manner in which NetBox imports objects in CSV format does not properly support multi-line field values, such as the physical_address for a site. Line breaks within a field are stripped from the input, such that

Hank Hill
123 Rainey St
Arlen TX 73104

becomes

Hank Hill123 Rainey StArlen TX 73104

We should be able to correct this behavior by leveraging StringIO to treat the input as a file when passing it to the CSV reader.
