End of Life, End of Support unknown capability

[pwinkeler]

Plugin version

1.1.6

NetBox version

4.3.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

The problem I have is that I would like to see "known" lifecycle dates for all devices, not just the ones with known end of sale and end of support dates. I suppose I could put in arbitrarily far future dates to fake this status but it would be much nicer if this was modeled as a state, e.g. device "is fully supported by vendor; end date unknown".

Use case

Adding tis capability would ideally allow me to add lifecycle entries for devices still full supported with no end date in sight and I could sort my devices by support end dates and have these particular devices always show up in the future.

Database changes

Not sure what that would take

External dependencies

None I can think of

I also faced need for this as I saw I have devices where end of support is not announced still. This would give me a notion which devices do not have data at all and which ones are supported but end date is not available ( not announced)
