AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Technical module that lets Odoo store lists (not only dictionaries) in serialized fields. It changes how serialized field values are converted when read into memory, so lists are saved correctly.

This is a technical module with no menus, screens or user-facing features. It extends the serialized field type provided by the base_sparse_field module.

  • It changes the internal conversion of values for serialized fields: when a value is a list or a dictionary, it is converted to a JSON text string before being stored in the cache; other values are kept as they are.
  • Empty values (False or None) are turned into an empty dictionary instead of being left empty.

Because of this, developers can define serialized fields that hold lists of items, and those lists will be handled correctly by Odoo's field machinery. Without this module, only dictionaries were properly supported by that conversion step.

It does not add any model, menu, report, button, scheduled action, email or business rule. It only touches the behaviour of the serialized field type from base_sparse_field. End users will not see any new screen; the effect is only visible in modules that rely on serialized fields containing lists.
