Steps to Reproduce

Import device type from library: https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library/blob/master/device-types/Generic/24-port-copper-patch-panel.yaml

Expected Behavior

Since the YML is explicitly mapping front and rear ports 1-to-1...

... I was expecting front and rear ports to be automatically mapped, i.e. the "mapping" column being populated:

Observed Behavior

Instead, all mappings are empty:

and I have to manually map each port:

Or recreate "Front Ports" with:

...which results in the correct mappings throughout:

... but, in my opinion, recreating would defeat the purpose of the import in the first place.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
