Proposed functionality

Hello,
when i create a new custom field, i have to select a "Type" and i can select JSON. Thats very nice but in fact, as i am a human, YAML would be much easy to write for me.

Is it possible to offer YAML too in the "Type" field?

Thank you so much in advance. NetBox is such a great Tool.

Cheers
