v.4.5.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I'd like to propose to adjust the display dimension for "Height" on devices (when devices are 0.0).

Currently, when devices are 1U, 3U, etc., the devices "Dimensions" table says its "Height" is "1.0U", or "2.0U", etc.
But when devices have a zero height, the "Height" is displayed as "0.0"

I'd like to display "0.0U" rather than "0.0"

Use case

When NetBox users look at devices, they are used to seeing 2.0U, or 4.0U, etc. The height is a measurement of rack unit height.

But when devices are 0U, the height is displayed as 0.0 without the "U", which can lead some users to believe this measurement is referring to perhaps the actual height of the unit in inches, millimeters, etc.

Database changes

none.

External dependencies

none.
