Make Custom Object "name" clickable

[rcon-git]

Plugin Version

0.1.0

Proposed functionality

To be consistent with all other model pages, the "name" of the object is the thing you click on to take you into that object, not the ID.

For example, navigate to Devices -> Devices
The device "name" is the link to take you to the device configuration

Same with Interfaces, Racks, Sites, etc.

This would apply to both Custom Object Types, as well as their corresponding Custom Objects.
(For custom objects, I propose the "primary" field would be the clickable item)

Use case

Consistency with the rest of NetBox.

External dependencies

None.

• For Custom Object Types I agree that we should use the name instead of the ID
• For Custom Objects I agree that we should use the Primary however we currently allow users to create Custom Objects of Custom Object Types that have no fields. In that case we'd need to either disallow the creation of Custom Objects for Custom Object Types that have no fields, or fall back to the ID in that case

[mrmrcoleman]

We discussed a different approach in which:

• Primary is a property of the COT
• Users would be unable to delete a field that was marked as Primary and would be required to set another field as Primary and then delete the field
• We would also not allow users to create Custom Objects from COTs that have no fields
