Introduce a mechanism for storing individual user preferences #3294
Description
Environment
- Python version: 3.6.8
- NetBox version: 2.6.0
Proposed Functionality
Introduce a model for storing the preferences of an individual user. A simple model providing arbitrary JSON data storage associated one-to-one with user accounts is probably sufficient. This will allow a user to set a preferred item (e.g. the default status for new prefixes) that will persist indefinitely.
Use Case
This has been highlighted as a requirement for several other features:
- Allow organize column #492 - Customized table column ordering
- Allow default statuses to be customised #1426 - Customized default statuses
Database Changes
Introduce a new model under the users app, e.g. UserPreferences.
