Originally created by @ITJamie on 3/18/2026

NetBox version

v4.5.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

ability to "enforce uniqueness" on the profile type of the module type would be the sanest way to enforce this for modules with that module type

Use case

I would like to enforce uniqueness of modules by serials. Specifically for ssd's / hdd's and other modules which should not exist more than once in netbox (by module serial)

Database changes

add an enforce uniqueness bool to module-profile types

External dependencies

No response
