NetBox Version

v4.4.4

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a device, dmi-albany-rtr01, with Interfaces GigabitEthernet0/1/4 and GigabitEthernet0/1/5 in site "DM-Albany
2. Bulk upload the following data:

side_a_device, side_a_type, side_a_name, side_b_device, side_b_type, side_b_name, side_a_site, side_b_site, status
"dmi01-albany-rtr01", "dcim.interface", "GigabitEthernet0/1/4", "dmi01-albany-rtr01", "dcim.interface", "GigabitEthernet0/1/5", "DM-Albany", "DM-Albany", ""

Note the status field isn't marked as mandatory but SHOULD be to be consistent with the UI

Expected Behavior

Upload is rejected as "" is not a valid status choice (the UI enforces a valid value being set)

Observed Behavior

Cable is allowed to be created with the below data

The larger issue here is around netbox-branching - if in a branch and this action is undertake, the branch will fail to merge or in main fail to sync due to a validation error of status must be set
