Allow admins to set more default values in fields

[chrisvella92]

NetBox version

v4.3.0

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

In configuration.py , admin users could be able to set default values for fields such as tenant (currently, there are default values for rack sizes for example and I am proposing having something similar).

Use case

It would be great if admins would be able to set default values for fields such as 'tenant' when creating new devices. In our netbox, I have set permission restrictions to now allow the tenant to be left empty for better housekeeping however it is a bit messy as users that leave empty get a message saying 'object level permission'. The issue could be solved by simply having a default value in the tenant field (and any other applicable fields).

I think if we were to go down this path, it would need to be via a single configuration parameter to hold default values for all potential model fields, rather than an individual setting per field.

I'd love to see the default for 'interface status' to be 'disabled'. If this FR can accomplish that, then I'm in favor

I'd love to see the default for 'interface status' to be 'disabled'.

I'd expect that to look like this:

DEFAULT_VALUES = {
    'dcim.Interface': {
        'enabled': False,
    }
}
