NetBox version

v4.0.0

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add save / create / cancel buttons to top of forms (or make existing buttons stay visible )

Use case

when a model has a lot of fields/custom fields (or is being used on a small display) there can be a lot of scrolling to get to the save / create buttons. it would be great if there was a copy of those buttons at the top of the form or if the existing buttons were always visible on the form

There was some discussion around this idea way back in #2237. Unfortunately it never found an owner.

What would be deemed acceptable?

An extra set of buttons at the top of the form
Some kind of "fixed" bar with the action buttons

If it was just an extra set of buttons at the top I could likely take a stab at it.

IMO a single set of fixed/floating buttons would be ideal. Rendering multiple buttons that do the same thing can be confusing and error-prone.

IMHO a fixed bar with the action buttons on the bottom would be awesome!
