terminations_b not showing as cabled.

[AaronJamesMyers]

Netbox v3.4.10

Im trying to write a script that creates a connection between 2 interfaces within Netbox custom scripts using the following code:

a_term = []
a_term.append(cdu_interface)

b_term = []
b_term.append(data['uplink_interface'])

_uplink_cable = Cable(
a_terminations=a_term,
b_terminations=b_term
)
_uplink_cable.save()

The Cable seems to be created fine, and looks fine on interface A. But on interface B, it is not showing a connection. In the object for Interface B, cable null.

When i look at the cable object, it shows the expected interface in terminations_b, but again, cable: null.

I tried looking up the termination B object in its own variable, and using that to append to the b_term list, but got the same result.

Any suggestions here??

The terminations list must contain an Interface object(s), not just an ID or other raw data.

I added this into my code:
uplink_interface = Interface.objects.get(name = data['uplink_interface'].name, device = data['uplink_device'].id)

and used "uplink_interface" as my b_term.

a_term = []
a_term.append(cdu_interface)

b_term = []
b_term.append(uplink_interface)

_uplink_cable = Cable(
a_terminations=a_term,
b_terminations=b_term
)
_uplink_cable.save()

I get the same result. When i look at my cable, and its termination points, it shows the proper interfaces for termination A and termination B. But nothing on the interface object at termination B

Try running full_clean() before you invoke save

[AaronJamesMyers]

a_term = []
a_term.append(cdu_interface)

        b_term = []
        b_term.append(uplink_interface)     
        #b_term.append(uplink_interface)     

        _uplink_cable = Cable(
            a_terminations=a_term,
            b_terminations=b_term
           
            )
        _uplink_cable.full_clean()
        _uplink_cable.save()

same results.

here is what the newly created cable looks like:

Also thanks for any suggestions here, I really do appreciate it. I realize everyone's time is important.

This was my bad guys.

I had pulled the object prior to creating the cable. then saved that same object AFTER creating the cable.

100% my bad.

Thank again for the suggestions
