Display_field in custom scripts. Netbox v3.x.x

[AlekseyMamedoff]

Hi!
"Display_field" has gone from Netbox v3. Can anyone show me how this functional use for now.
It would be nice to see example of code.
it should be simple I understand but i searched for two days and got nothing:(

Can you provide a sample of your script that uses "display_field"?

[AlekseyMamedoff]

from ipam.models import IPAddress
from extras.scripts import *

class Test(Script):
    class Meta:
        name = "Test"

    ip = ObjectVar(
        label='Service',
        model=IPAddress,
        required=False,
#        display_field='description', # we got exception if uncomment it
        )

    def run(self, data, commit):
        return data['ip'].description

When we try to execute this script it show the ip addresses itself in drop-down menu i want to see it's description instead. Before Netbox v3 it works with "display_field".

As per 3.0.0 release notes, display_field has been removed, try using display instead.

It was the first i try after upgrade:)
Code like this:

    ip = ObjectVar(
        label='Service',
        model=IPAddress,
        required=False,
        display='description', 
        )

It generate exception:

<class 'TypeError'>

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'display'

Python version: 3.8.10
NetBox version: 3.3-beta2

We use Netbox v3.2.7 as main version. It has same problem.

I don't use custom scripts, but I suppose you should use field name description instead.

I'm having the same problem using custom scripts for NetBox IPAM operations. I need to list my Prefix description field, not the prefixes themselves. I was disappointed to see that the display_field option was removed.
