Didn't want to open a new issue because this is help wanted question.
I would like to import netbox-dns custom fields from ansible.
This is my variable dict

ip_addresses:
  - address: 172.30.10.5/32
    assigned_object:
      device: pve01 
      name: eth0
    dns_name: pve01.mgmt.mine.xxx
    custom_fields:
      ipaddress_dns_record_name: pve01
      ipaddress_dns_zone_id: 
        name: mgmt.mine.xxx

but when i use netbox ip_address module i always get an error. This is my task

- name: Assign IP Addresses
  netbox.netbox.netbox_ip_address:
    netbox_url: "{{ vault_netbox_api }}"
    netbox_token: "{{ vault_netbox_token }}"
    data: "{{ ip }}"
    state: present
  loop: "{{ ip_addresses }}"
  loop_control:
    loop_var: "ip"
    label: "{{ ip.assigned_object.device }} - {{ ip.assigned_object.name }} => {{ ip.address }}"

But i get always this error:

I do not understand how i should express the dns_zone_id field.
If i write it in this way

ip_addresses:
  - address: 172.30.10.5/32
    assigned_object:
      device: pve01 
      name: eth0
    dns_name: pve01.mgmt.mine.xxx
    custom_fields:
      ipaddress_dns_record_name: pve01
      ipaddress_dns_zone_id: 
        - name: mgmt.mine.xxx

i get

Is it only allowed to have numerical id?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I appreciate your great work.

I'm afraid that's a limitation of custom fields in NetBox.

A NetBox custom field referencing an object expects that object's id as its value. There does not seem a mechanism to refer to a different attribute instead.

So you would need to pull a list of NetBox DNS zones in Ansible at the beginning of the code section and store that list (or dictionary, keyed by name) in a variable. Then you could use indirect addressing to refer to the id.
