Allow specifying address when calling available_ips.create()

[variable]

pynetbox version

v7.4.1

NetBox version

v4.2.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

eg. available_ips.create({'address': xxxx}}

last_ip = new_firewall_linknet_prefix.available_ips.list()[-1]
firewall_ip = new_firewall_linknet_prefix.available_ips.create({'address': last_ip.address})

Use case

Currently if I want to create an IP from the last item of available_ips.list(), I will have to create one (which is the next available IP) then update to the address I wanted

last_ip = new_firewall_linknet_prefix.available_ips.list()[-1]
firewall_ip = new_firewall_linknet_prefix.available_ips.create()
firewall_ip.address = last_ip.address
firewall_ip.save()

This does not work

@variable , I don't think this is really how the /api/ipam/prefixes/<pk>/available-ips endpoint is intended to work. Why not just use the IPAddress create endpoint directly, like:

last_ip = new_firewall_linknet_prefix.available_ips.list()[-1]
firewall_ip = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.create(last_ip)
