Plugin Version

commit 722bbd6 (HEAD -> public-preview, origin/public-preview) Author: btiemann btiemann@netboxlabs.com Date: Thu Jun 26 15:31:01 2025 -0400

Proposed functionality

GIVEN a custom object type X
WHEN the user adds a field of type object
THEN the user should be able to choose X as the field type

Use case

• Private preview participants used this feature in the previous version of custom objects but it is no longer possible in the dynamic tables approach
• Modelling self-referential objects is a common requirement, without this users will be limited in their ability to model their infrastructure

External dependencies
