Adding a new model within a model

[betadrome]

NetBox version

v3.7.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

This feature will be affect all models to be created.

I would like to be able to create model dependencies directly in the model to be created.

Current workflow via the GUI:

1. create device
2. create "Device role", "Device Type" and "Site" in a new browser tab
3. jump back to the device creation
4. select newly created models
5. complete the creation of the device

I wish the following workflow in the future:

1. create device
2. all dependency models or simply all models have a plus button for creating a model within a model
3. an overlay page pops up where I can make exactly the same settings as directly under the specific model
4. the new model can now be created
5. the new model is now directly preselected and I don't have to search for it
6. complete the creation of the device

Here are two design options:
Option 1:

Option 2:

Use case

This feature affects all models with creation functionality. It helps to create new devices, sites and so forth, faster and with more overview.

Database changes

i don't think so

External dependencies

i don't think so

Good suggestion, dupe of #5858 so closing this one. Please see comments on that issue and any details you think might be missing.
