AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

When importing data into Odoo, the "Track history during import" option is switched on by default, so imported records keep a history of changes without you having to tick the box yourself.

This module changes the behaviour of the standard data import screen in Odoo. Normally, when you import a file, there is an option called "Track history during import" that is off by default, and it is only visible when developer (debug) mode is enabled.

With this module installed, that option is already ticked when the import screen opens. You do not have to remember to enable it, and the records created or updated by the import will keep their change history.

  • Where it appears: the import side panel of the standard import view (base_import.ImportView.side_panel), the same screen used for importing files into any model.
  • What changes: the tracking checkbox is pre-selected.
  • What stays the same: you can still untick it manually if you do not want history tracking for a particular import.

The module does not add any new menu, model, report, scheduled action or business rule. It only adjusts the default state of an existing import option, and it depends on the standard import feature (base_import).
