ImportError: cannot import name 'TagFilterField' from 'utilities.forms'

[john2893]

why do I keep getting this error, Its new?
Any pointers please.

The script is a simple script I got from one of the post here:

from extras.scripts import Script

class CheckIP(Script):
    class Meta:
        name = "Check IP"

    def run(self, data, commit):
        self.log_success("request: %r" % dir(self.request))
        self.log_success("meta: %r" % self.request.META)
        return "THE END"

The issue is in netbox-dns plugin rather than your script

[john2893]

Thank you! I'm going to ask this question in there.

You appear to be using an old, out of date version of the NetBox DNS plugin. Be sure to use Pete Eckel's fork as Aurora Research abandoned the original one.
