Custom field in script

[vaas2956]

Hello team,

For a creation of new site, I want to import the data of another site (rack, devices ...) in this new site.
To do this, I created this first script (to add rack) :

---

from django.utils.text import slugify
from extras.scripts import *
from dcim.choices import DeviceStatusChoices, SiteStatusChoices, RackStatusChoices, LocationStatusChoices
from dcim.models import Device, DeviceRole, DeviceType, Manufacturer, Site, Rack, Location, Interface
from extras.scripts import *

class test(Script):

class Meta:
    name = "Add rack"
    description = "(update)"

site_name = ObjectVar(
    description="Site to update",
    model=Site,
    required=True
)

def run(self, data, commit):


    ### VARIABLES ###
    siteToUpdate = Site.objects.get(name=data['site_name'])
    siteOld = Site.objects.get(name="old")
    allRack = []
    
    ### INIT ###
    for rack in Rack.objects.filter(site=siteOld):
        allRack.append(rack)

    for i in allRack:
        rackRet = Rack(
            site = siteToUpdate,
            location = i.location,
            tenant = i.tenant,
            # niv = i.custom_field_data.get('niv'),
            # rtpf = i.custom_field_data.get('rtpf')

        )

        rackRet.full_clean()
        rackRet.save()
        self.log_success(f"Created new rack: {i}")

---

However I use customs fields to initialize the rack and I don't know how initialize this in rack's constructor ?
Do you know please how I can use customs fields in the constructor ?
Thanks

Regards

To fill custom data in the rackSet you need to:

rackSet.custom_field_data = {
      "cf_name": "string_to_be_shown",
}
