Incorrect filter configuration

Oct 13, 2025 by vinooalluri.com 120 views

Environment

We are currently running the following versions of our software:

Python version: 3.10
Nautobot version: 1.6.28
nautobot-golden-config version: 1.6.6

Expected Behavior

The filter on the /plugins/golden-config/golden/ page (goldenconfig_list.html) should use the updated format in the top button and allow filtering directly from the GUI with options such as “backup last …” and “compliance last …”. This would enable users to easily filter their golden configurations based on the last backup and compliance attempt dates.

Observed Behavior

However, the filter on the /plugins/golden-config/golden/ page (goldenconfig_list.html) appears on the right-hand side and does not provide options to filter directly by “backup last …” and “compliance last …”. This makes it difficult for users to filter their golden configurations based on the last backup and compliance attempt dates.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Click the “Golden Config” -> “Config Overview” menu on the left: Navigate to the Golden Config section and click on the Config Overview menu item.
Apply a filter: Apply a filter to the golden config list to see the filter options.
Attempt to filter by goldenconfig__compliance_last_attempt_date__gte: Attempt to filter the golden config list by the goldenconfig__compliance_last_attempt_date__gte field. You should not see the “backup last …” and “compliance last …” options in the filter dropdown.

Possible Causes

There are several possible causes for this issue:

Outdated nautobot-golden-config version: The issue may be caused by an outdated version of the nautobot-golden-config plugin. Upgrading to the latest version may resolve the issue.
Incorrect filter configuration: The filter configuration may be incorrect, preventing the “backup last …” and “compliance last …” options from appearing in the filter dropdown.
Bug in nautobot-golden-config plugin: There may be a bug in the nautobot-golden-config plugin that is preventing the “backup last …” and “compliance last …” options from appearing in the filter dropdown.
