Automatic color assignment to rack items based on certain properties?

Hi,

I'm currently using colors to distinguish between different item types (running servers, broken servers, USV/PDUs, network equipment, passive elements like cable ducts ecc. ecc.). However this is extremely time-consuming, cumbersome and error-prone manual work, as the colors have to be manually selected for each item and there has to be a separate documentation somewhere, which color needs to be assigned to which item type.  Also it contradicts our automatization efforts.

Is there a way to assign colors automatically based on properties of the item?

That would be great. I also set the colors in relation to the device type (e.g. different color of servers, different power supplies) and status. It would make life easier.

This is not currently possible but seems like it would be a good addition.
