Custom Validator pull inventory objects

[settlej]

How do you get a list of all dcim/locations in a custom validator? I created a custom field and want to make sure every time a new location is created it has a unique id associated to it. I tried:

from extras.validators import CustomValidator
from dcim.models import Location

class UniqueLocationID(CustomValidator):
    def validate(self, location):
         print(Location.objects.all())

I get an error about the apps are not fully loaded.

You need to do model imports inside the validate method because, as it tells you, apps are not loaded yet when the settings file is executed.
