Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.5

Proposed Functionality

In circuits/providers/, change the NOC and Admin contact fields to be GitHub-Flavored Markdown fields (similar to the Comments field).

Use Case

The NOC and Admin fields may contain information related to more than one person/department. For instance, you may have different admin contacts for different roles. Markdown would help structure those two fields.

Database Changes

None.

External Dependencies

None.

I've got a similar feature request that has been accepted. Maybe this will fit your purpose?

It does fit the purpose, though I'm very sure it requires a bit more effort (new object type, likely to change database structure, etc...). For this request, I simply ask that those two fields are formatted similar to the comments section. This change, as far as I can tell, should be quite simple.

Long term, I'd prefer your approach as it is way more scalable, though it seems the devs are busy with other things, so I tried suggesting a middle-ground solution.
