Visual Aid For Items Locked By Design

[jvanderaa]

Environment

• Nautobot version: 2.1
• design-builder version: Christian's video on Slack

Proposed Functionality

During the presentation there was a data validation that came after the field was updated. Would be good to have a visual indicator that the field is going to be validated by Design Builder and what the design is. Maybe even what the design requirements are for the field

Use Case

Give the feedback before feedback that there may be something that will be errored if typed wrong.

Maybe a slightly grey background on the fields??

@jvanderaa This is an interesting idea... are you proposing that the every UI form in Nautobot have a visual aid for any attribute that is managed by a design?

If so, I'm not sure how to approach solving that and am open to suggestions.

Had considered something similar in core here: nautobot/nautobot#1541 (comment) for what it's worth. By no means an accepted path forward though, but thought it would be a good refernce.

@abates you have it exactly.

this is already implemented in the feature_delices branch.
