Provide basic object forms as part of plugins framework #8488
Description
NetBox version
v3.1.6
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Formally support several form classes for basic use by plugins, suitable for use with their corresponding generic views. These include:
- Create/edit a single object (
ObjectEditView.model_form) - Import object from CSV data (
BulkImportView.model_form) - Edit multiple objects (
BulkEditView.form) - FilterSet form (
ObjectListView.filterset_form)
The current state of forms in NetBox core is a bit messy, so for now it seems prudent to introduce an entirely new set of base form classes for use by plugins, which inherit from the relevant core forms to provide support for custom fields and other NetBox features.
Use case
Enables the use of core forms by plugins.
