Custom field values no longer saved with ID #5655

Although you don't actually say it, I am guessing that you are talking about custom fields where the data type is "Selection", i.e. a drop-down list of choices? That's the only place I can see "ID" being relevant. In principle, I think you should put a permanent value here (e.g. customer number), and then look up changing data (like the customer's current E-mail address) in a separate table. However, I do note that in HTML, choices can have labels which are distinct from the values:
Therefore you could request a feature to allow the displayed values for choices to be different to the stored values. e.g.
Effectively then, "foo" becomes the persistent ID, and the displayed value can be more user-friendly and/or changed without altering data in the database. Is that the sort of thing you're thinking of? |

Hi,
Continuing from #5652. Copying the relevant comment:
Our goal is to be able to set owner (and other fields) for several endpoints (IP, prefix, device...) and being able to change part of the value and have this change propagate everywhere.
This worked with v2.9, but is broken in v2.10 since there are no more IDs associated to custom field values. Are the IDs coming back in the future? Is there other way to do this?
