Enable caching of object attributes in search index #15413
Description
NetBox version
v3.7.3
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Extend SearchIndex to enable caching object attributes in addition to concrete model fields. This can be achieved by tweaking its get_field_type() method to also accept attributes. (get_field_value() probably doesn't need modification as it's simply wrapping getattr().)
Use case
This will enable NetBox to capture rendered attributes in addition to raw database values. For instance, #14201 requests caching the number of an ASN object as the string "AS1234" in addition to the plain numeric value.
