Retrieve custom field value from netbox shell

[tux-mania]

Hi all.

Getting stuck again with custom_fields here.
I need to retrieve the value for custom_field 'LAN' in Devices.
But I do not know how to get it. Doing a dir(Device) I see the properties cf and custom_field_data. But I don't know how to use it to extract the data needed.

Could you please help?
Thanks.

You should be able to find your custom field of 'Lan' with custom_field_data['LAN']. From what you have said it seems like you would just do Device.custom_field_data['LAN']

I think (sure) I'm misunderstanding the way it all works.
When I try to do the command you gave me, I get:

>>> Device.custom_field_data['LAN']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'DeferredAttribute' object is not subscriptable

Should I access the data in another way? A bit lost with the objects thing...

Sorry for the previous answer. After checking again the official documentation, I found the correct way to do it.
So, using your command and the documentation, it works with:

>>> for device in Device.objects.all():
...     print(device.custom_field_data['LAN'])

Thanks for your help!
