What problem does it solve?
Removing a model field in NetBox is risky because the field is referenced across models, migrations, serializers, forms, filters, tables, GraphQL, search indexing, tests, and documentation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end removal checklist: Provides a step-by-step workflow that removes outer consumers (API, UI, GraphQL, tests, docs) before updating the model itself.
- Covers NetBox-specific touch points: Includes explicit guidance for
filtersets, serializers, UI panels/templates, GraphQLfilters.pyandtypes.py,search.pyindexing, andtables. - Migration guidance with guardrails: Instructs to generate the migration via
makemigrations(not manual edits) and verify it contains only the intendedRemoveFieldoperation.
Quick Start
Follow the checklist to remove the specified field from every NetBox integration point, then run the recommended makemigrations and migrate steps to apply the change safely.
