Show full Region hierarchy on all relevant object views #13735
Description
NetBox version
v3.6.1
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
There seems to be some inconsistency with the way that the Region information is displayed in different object views. For a Device, there is a separate Region row shown in the UI with the full Region path. But, for Circuit Termination, Prefix, Rack, Rack Reservation, and VLAN (this is everything I could find with grep -F 'site.region|linkify', so maybe I missed something), only the leaf Region is shown on the Site row in the respective object view. My proposal would be to align the other models' object views to the way that Device does it, but I'm also fine with the regions staying on the Site line, as long as they show the full path, and ideally are consistent across all the object views.
I also noticed that models like Power Panels and Virtualization Clusters show the Site and no Region information. I'm not sure how to gather an exhaustive list for that scenario, but I feel like it should be consistent as well. Maybe there's a better way to DRY the site/location/rack and related site groups and regions into a separate template for consistency (understanding that location/rack may not be relevant to all models that support site)?
Use case
We are trying to implement a Region hierarchy that follows a pattern like State / City (which I think is fairly common) and it seems redundant to have to include the state as part of the city name, since the Region model only requires the name to be unique to its parent. There is also inconsistency today between how different models represent the same data in the UI, so that creates some visual dissonance. There are other areas of the UI that currently don't handle nested models very well, like table columns and dropdowns, but that's a separate issue.
