Inventory Items in v3.2 beta 2

[tomwoodcraft]

NetBox version

v3.2.0 beta2

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

(Python v3.10 but not an option on drop down)

A couple of issues with inventory items.

(1) Trying to nest inventory items on a Device Type doesn't appear to work. You can create inventory items against the type but if you try to specify a parent on a second inventory item in the drop down, the first item doesn't show (nor do any others).

(2) If you go to create an inventory item on a device type there's an option to add a module type at the top of the form (indicating they should be creatable against module types?) but they are only created against the device type still. There is no inventory item in the components drop down when creating a module type.

(This was observed and tested in the beta demo)

Expected Behavior

From my understanding, the inventory items for device types and module types should both behave the same way as device (instances)? So you would be able to add nested inventory items to track components making up a device and then when you create devices or modules from these types, inventory items are created automatically, in the same way as the rest of components - interfaces, ports etc.

Observed Behavior

Nesting inventory items not possible for device types

Inventory items not possible for modules

Hi @jeremystretch, thanks for the prompt response for this. Tried testing the changes, the nested inventory now works on device types but when trying to create a device of that type seeing this error:

Field error: Cannot resolve keyword 'device' into field. Choices are: _name, child_items, component, component_id, component_type, component_type_id, created, description, device_type, device_type_id, id, label, last_updated, level, lft, manufacturer, manufacturer_id, name, parent, parent_id, part_id, rght, role, role_id, tree_id
