What do you think about to extend the config context functionality to other netbox objects?
Maybe it's an idea to use the same approach like tags. Add a new config context and then you can choose the possible object types, to which the config context will be assigned:
I think the possibility to assign other object types informations based on object criterias with the config context, will be a big advantage and can reduce the need/amount of custom fields.
In my use case we have ip helper addresses for a prefix. Yes it's possible to create a custom field for the prefix and then configure for each prefix the ip helper addresses, but it not scale on large environments. The ip helper addresses are for example per site and dns domain the same. With the config context we can assign the ip helper addresses automatically to all prefixes which have this criterias.
