I can't filter with display_name for the DeviceType

[rimoi]

Steps to Reproduce

• I just want to make this request :

SELECT * FROM device_type WHERE display_name LIKE '%brocad%'

To do this, I call this url in GET :
https://website-dcim/api/dcim/device-types/?display_name_ic=brocad

Expected Behavior

I just want filtered results.

Observed Behavior

But it doesn't filter, it returns all the DeviceType data I have in my database.

Thanks

display_name isn't a field which exists in the database: It's a concatenation of the device type's manufacturer name and model. Because manufacturer is a related field, it can only be filtered using an exact match; e.g. ?manufacturer=brocade or ?manufacturer_id=123. You can, however, filter against the model number using a partial match.

The complete list of available filters for each API endpoint is listed in the API documentation at /api/docs/.
