YAML Device Template items for port description and label.

[DenHayes]

Does the YAML import for device templates support a description and label item for front and rear ports? I reviewed the devicetype-library read-me and schema definition and I don't think so, but want to confirm.

A description and label can be added when creating the device components via the WebUI. It would be nice to see this added to the import templates if not.

Did you try it? The following works for me:

manufacturer: Unknown
model: Packet Shooter 9000
slug: packet-shooter-9000
u_height: 1
front-ports:
  - name: F1
    type: 8p8c
    rear_port: R1
    rear_port_position: 1
    description: foo
    label: FP1
rear-ports:
  - name: R1
    type: 8p8c
    positions: 1
    description: bar
    label: RP1

After import:

Yes, I did give it a try; here's a snippet of the yaml I tried.

slug: 96csm2hu
comment: 96 Channel DWDM passive filter
part_number: '1078708800-01'
u_height: 2

rear-ports:
  - name: N
    type: lc
    positions: 96
    description: 'Network Port'
front-ports:
  - name: C1
    type: lc
    rear_port: N
    rear_port_position: 1
    description: '1529.55 nm'
  - name: C2
    type: lc
    rear_port: N
    rear_port_position: 2
    description: '1529.94 nm'
  - name: C3
    type: lc
    rear_port: N
    rear_port_position: 3
    description: '1530.33 nm'

Here's what it looks like after imported:

I'm running version 2.11.1 and I see 2.11.8 was just released. I'll upgrade and try again.

Thanks for confirming it should work.

My test was with 2.11.7, and the release notes for 2.11.4 include:

• Device Type Import does not import/export description/label fields for many components #6438 - Fix missing descriptions and label for device type imports and exports

[DenHayes]

I didn't even think to look for a bug report when I didn't see them listed in:

https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library#readme #

We've upgraded to 2.11.8 and it's works.

Thanks for the info.
