I agree. Asset tag seems to be the only other field that gets added to a name if you have it filled in. It was so cumbersome for our users we don't use the built-in asset tag field, instead opting to create a custom field for asset tag just so it won't get appended to the name.
I like having it in selector fields but i dislike having it in most other places.
NetBox version

Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
Either do not append the Asset Tag to the Device Name, or make it an option.
What it looks like now:
What I'd like the option to do:
Use case
For display purposes, appending the Asset Tag to the Device Name uses up a lot of space--especially when one is looking at a list of cable connections. It makes for a more cluttered view (though I suppose this is subjective). Having the option to disable the parenthetical Asset Tag appearing next to the Device Name would streamline things visually, make tables display in a more easy-to-read fashion, and eliminate needless redundancy of information.
Database changes
I don't believe any database changes should be necessary, as these are two separately defined fields being displayed a certain way in the Web UI.
External dependencies
No external dependencies.
