Unable to create BGP Session object using pynetbox, when peer_group is supplied in the args

NetBox version 2.11.2

Describe the bug Unable to create BGP Session object using pynetbox, when peer_group is supplied in the args.

To Reproduce nb_staging in the output below is my instance of pynetbox.api

In [943]: object_dict
Out[943]:

 'remote_as': {'number': 3356},

Expected behavior The BGP Session object gets created

Screenshots n/a - the traceback above should be sufficient.

Additional context I have also tried changing object_dict['peer_group'] = {'name': 'TRANSIT'} but I still get the same error. Neither referencing related object by a dictionary of attributes nor by its ID seem to work.

If I remove the ‘peer_group’ key from object_dict altogether, the BGP session object gets created successfully. However, thats not what I would like. I’d like to relate the session to a peer group.

Sorry guys, I was on vacation. Will update it soon.

yeah, I’m doing the same for the time being. Can’t wait for it to get rolled into the master branch
