Issues with NetBox v4.4.6-Docker-3.4.2 and Topology Views Plugin - Coordinates Not Saving and 403 Errors #684

Description

NetBox version

v4.4.6-Docker-3.4.2

Topology Views version

v4.4.0

Steps to Reproduce

Hello everyone,

I recently updated my NetBox Docker installation to version v4.4.6-Docker-3.4.2 and also updated the Topology Views plugin to version 4.4.0. Since then, I have been facing a issue:

  • When moving devices in the topology view, their coordinates do not save, even though coordinate saving is enabled in the plugin config.

I have verified that:

  • User and API token permissions are set correctly, including object permissions for the coordinate model used by the plugin.
  • The plugin is correctly listed and configured in PLUGINS and PLUGINS_CONFIG in the configuration file.

Despite these checks, the problem persists.

If anyone has experienced similar issues with NetBox 4.4.x and the Topology Views plugin, or has suggestions on additional troubleshooting steps, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you!

Expected Behavior

When moving devices in the topology view, their coordinates should be saved.
