Incorrect handling of null value in custom fields
See original GitHub issueNetBox version
v2.10.6
Python version
3.6
Steps to Reproduce
- Have existing custom field with empty value (in my case it’s dcim > device custom field)
- Update from NetBox 2.9.11 to 2.10.6
- Add new device and leave this custom field empty while creating it
- Value of this custom field will be “” (empty string) instead of
null
Expected Behavior
Value of empty custom fields should be null
Observed Behavior
Value of empty custom fields is “” (empty string). Devices that have been added prior to update to NetBox 2.10.6, still have proper value null for empty custom fields.
