Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently metadata only available on device group level, is it possible to also implement this on device level?, since device model is not enough, we need more field and typically custom-able like serial number, manufacture date etc.. which is impossible for now per device level

Describe the solution you'd like
Simply add new field for metadata input fields just like in device group

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the existing device-group metadata implementation and the device model or entry points that expose device data. Trace how metadata is stored and presented for groups, then determine the corresponding device-level locations. Done means custom fields such as serial number and manufacture date can be entered and used for an individual device.
