Device display name not showing asset number when name is blank

[duckw]

NetBox version

v3.1.5

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a device with no name but with an asset tag.

Expected Behavior

Display name for the device should be "manufacturer device_type (asset tag)" since asset tag is not null.

Observed Behavior

Display name for the device shows as "manufacturer device_type (id)".

There are couple possible scenarios here:

1. Display the Device Type & the Asset Tag
2. Display the Asset Tag
3. Display only the Device Type

How do we want to tackle this?

How do we want to tackle this?

My vote would go to # 1 ("Display the Device Type & the Asset Tag") with perhaps fallback to Serial Number if Asset Tag is also blank.

Going to knock this out soon. Will do Device Type & Asset Tag
