Display related object fields as columns #19590

NetBox version

v4.3.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When customizing a table view, allow more related object fields to be displayed as columns. Specifically, I'd like to show Device Location and Device Site on the Interfaces table.

Use case

Before using Netbox, our teams used spreadsheets to track devices and IP addresses. I'm trying to create a view as close as possible to that. For example, a typical sheet would include these columns: Location name, Location number (custom field), Device description, Device ID, MAC, IP, patch point, switch name, switch interface, VLAN ID, Interface description.

The Interfaces table already allows some related object fields (Device Status), so it seems like not a big leap to add a few more.
Ideally, I would like to have access to all related object fields, including custom fields. That's unwieldy for the UI but I think it could work if we can build table configs using JSON.
