Design Instance Name auto-generated

[chadell]

Environment

• Nautobot version:
• nautobot-design-builder version:

Proposed Functionality

The Design Instance name is a mandatory attribute that today is required to be entered by the user.

The proposed functionality will allow the Design to include logic to auto-calculate the name leveraging input data (and other context). This would be dynamically generated when the input data changes (only for creation).

There could be an option to disable the user edition if enforced by design.

Use Case

[itdependsnetworks]

Is a good analogy here to think about it like a composite key?

[chadell]

yes, but with more capacity to inject logic by design.
