Filter export by checkbox selection

[candlerb]

NetBox version

v3.1.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When you view a listing of objects (e.g. /dcim/device-types/) there is a button/drop-down for "Export"

There are also checkboxes next to each item, which affect "Edit Selected" and "Delete Selected" below.

I propose that if any checkboxes are selected, this also filters the Export to the selected item(s) only.

Use case

You want to export the device type YAML for a single device type or a few specific device types. It would be straightforward and obvious to check the item(s) in the table, then click Export.

Otherwise, unless you can build a filter which exactly matches the device types you're interested in, this can be hard to do.
