NetBox version

v3.2.3

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add a clone() method to the base NetBoxModel class (or a new mixin) to replace the current approach of defining clone_fields on a model. This will return a dictionary of field names mapped to values to be used in the creation of a cloned object. Document this method as a supported component for plugins.

Use case

The switch from a static list of fields to a method allows us to apply arbitrary logic when determining the values for the cloned object. For example, when cloning an IP address, we can automatically calculate the next available address (#8171).
