Markdown comments field on Locations #17602

NetBox version

v4.0.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I would like to have a Comments field on Locations, which supports markdown the same as we have on other objects.

Use case

I currently have a URL custom field on each Location, linking to a folder which contains all the relevant config files and construction drawings for that room. Sometimes there is a need to include more than one link here. I think a comments field would be a better way to store this info, using Markdown to make long URLs look more friendly.

I would also use this field to store brief operational notes on each room.
