Problem with endpoint: POST /api/ipam/prefixes/{id}/available-prefixes/ Right now in PrefixRequest model required field is "prefix" which is actually ignored by API, however API requires _"prefixlength" field which is absent in the model. Since API client libraries are generated from OpenAPI spec this mismatch makes them hard to use (if ever usable for specific endpoint). I use go client which allows to add custom fields to request, but its quite an unpleasant workaround. I don't have enough skill with python and django to provide fix myself so relying this problem to community.
