Comment/description for image attachments #18990

@tacerus

Description

@tacerus

NetBox version

v4.2.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Other objects support a free-floating comment/description field, however image attachments do not.

We found this upon importing images from RackTables, which does have a comment field for attachments.

Use case

This would be useful to:

  • have a text reference about what the image is about before opening it
  • have a text caption about the what is displayed on the image for visually impaired users

Using the Name field for this purpose not ideal, as that one alters the display of the image file name as well.

Database changes

It requires an additional field.
