add more contact fields to contact assignments table

[matejv]

NetBox version

v3.5.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Contact assignments table would include additional columns that correspond to contact fields:

• Title
• Phone
• Email
• Address
• Link
• Description

These fields would not be shown by default. Users could add them to the table via "Table Configuration" dialog.

Field definitions in NetboxTables can use accessor argument to refer to fields that span model relations. To for ContactAssignments table you could refer to contact fields. Something like this:

class ContactAssignmentTable(NetBoxTable):
...

    contact_phone = tables.Column(
        accessor=Accessor('contact__phone'),
        verbose_name='Phone'
    )
...
    class Meta(NetBoxTable.Meta):
        model = ContactAssignment
        fields = (... 'contact_phone', ...)

Use case

When looking up contacts for a site, the most often needed data is a persons phone number or email. Currently to access this information you need to click on each contact to see them. With this change one could see a list of phone numbers for all contacts assigned to a site and just start calling them down the list.

Database changes

No database changes required

External dependencies

I'm not sure how this will be achieved as the table that is linked is ContactAssignment and it does not have the fields you want. Could you expand your implementation a bit more on how this will be acheived?
