ConfigContext doesn't evaluate parent locations

[alehaa]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.4.0

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create Location A with child location B
2. Create a Device in location B
3. Create a ConfigContext for location A

Expected Behavior

ConfigContext is evaluated for device.

Observed Behavior

ConfigContext will only be evaluated when applied directly to location B. Since this is an organizational model that allows nesting, I would assume that ancestors would be covered in the ConfigContextQuerySet, similar to how site groups, regions, and device roles are handled. A practical use case would be assigning configuration for a specific room divided into multiple sub-locations, such as datacenter pods.
