[Feature]: support role in devices #1485
Description
NetBox version
v3.7.0
Feature type
Change to existing Module
Proposed functionality
The netbox_device module in netbox-community/ansible_modules is not currently supporting the role field.
The device_role field was renamed/migrated to role for devices in netbox-community/netbox 3.6.0.
https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v3.6.0
Support for device_role field was kept though for those running older netbox-community/netbox releases and also the current and past netbox-community/ansible_modules releases.
Then device_role field was entirely removed for devices in netbox-community/netbox 4.0.0.
https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v4.0.0
The netbox_device module in netbox-community/ansible_modules in my opinion should support both fields (role and device_role) and eventually drop device_role in the next major release.
Use case
Because role field in devices is currently not supported, netbox-community/netbox 4.0.0 is also not fully supported.
