This module allows the user to authorize mass editing on an attribute.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Lets you flag an attribute as mass-editable, so Odoo automatically builds a mass editing action for its attribute group. Users can then update that attribute on many records at once from the mass editing wizard.
This module connects attributes with the mass editing feature. On each attribute form you get a new "Allow Mass Editing" checkbox, placed next to the existing attribute options.
When you tick that checkbox and save, Odoo automatically creates (or reuses) a mass editing action for the attribute group the attribute belongs to. The action is named "Edit <group name> fields" and is kept in sync if you rename the group. The attribute's field is added as a line of that action.
If you untick the checkbox, the attribute is removed from the mass editing action. When an action no longer contains any field, the action itself is deleted. Deleting an attribute also removes it from mass editing.
When you use the mass editing wizard on records, the module restricts the choices shown for relational fields linked to a select or multiselect attribute, so only values belonging to the right attribute are proposed.
Everything happens automatically on create, write and delete of attributes; there is no separate menu to open. The feature appears through the attribute form checkbox and through the standard mass editing action and wizard.
