Unfortunately there is no way to do this in the UI. The easiest way I have found is to export as YAML, make the changes, then import.

Hello how is an export as YAML in device possible? I only can do an CSV export. Import with CSV triggers errors thanks a lot.

First you asked about DeviceTypes. Now you are asking about Devices? Those are 2 different things.
From the Device Types page, click the purple export button and then "All Data (YAML)". I suggest you filter the list first so it shows only 1 item to make this easier.

you are thight in device type it's possible to extract, via yaml, thanks, but export is only complete possible not for a single device type?

Have a look at the customizations repo in the netbox-community project (https://github.com/netbox-community/customizations/) There are some general purpose scripts including a "add_device_type_components.py" which should do what you want. I don't know if it works anymore since it has not been updated in 2 years but when I used it some time ago it worked.
