Assigning multiple devices to rack

[nerfux]

NetBox version

v4.0.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

• Edit multiple devices, which are not assigned to a rack already. Have the option to assign them to a rack, as non-racked.
• Edit multiple devices, which are to a rack already. Have the option to assign them to a rack, as non-racked, or keep the original position. Related cabling between the multiple devices within the rack should be kept, other cables should be removed / disconnected.

Use case

When creating equipment upfront of a rack installation, user needs to edit each device manually to assign the equipment to a rack. It would be great to be able to assign multiple devices to a rack, as non-racked. And when moving multiple equipment from one rack to another.

From my end its just the lack of functionality to apply multiple devices to a rack rather than having to do it one by one. The drag-n-drop pluging helps for placing "non-racked" devices to the rack. But you still have to enter each device an assign the rack
