Feature Request - Mark mDNS lower in priority in client hostname retrieval

Clients are randomly getting named in dashboard based off of mDNS. I put in a ticket and 'make a wish' in Oct 2019. Now more and more devices named this way and I cannot rename thousands of devices manually. 

 

Current order of retrieval in Meraki. 

 

  1. User Defined

  2. MDNS

  3. NetBios

  4. DHCP Hostname

Let's make mDNS lower than DHCP hostname OR allow this to be customized by administrators.

When you make a wish also make sure you say what problem you are trying to solve and why.

We can't identify devices.  I have to look at Meraki, then find the device IP, then look at DHCP and find the hostname.  If #4 were #2 on this list, the information would be dramatically more useful.
