Airflow inheritance when creating a device (not on save) #19541

Description

NetBox version

v4.3.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

The value for "airflow" should be fetched from a device type and used as the default value for the airflow of a new device to be created (as it already is), and also be shown before the new device is saved.

Use case

When a device type has set a value for "airflow", and a device of that type is instantiated, the value for "airflow" is still shown as "-------" and only gets the value (e.g. "passive") when the device is saved.

When you don't know that it works this way, you wonder why the form for creating a device doesn't show the value from the device type you created before. This led me to believe this to be buggy. Also, you cannot see what the value will be after saving, and only then might notice that in this case the airflow is different and needs to be changed.
