In recent Odoo versions, the login field is tightly linked to the email field (the field is displayed with an "Email" label, and it will populate the email of the user if it contains an "@" character).
Yet for the users who uses a distinct login and email, this is confusing.
The goal of this module is to untangle (a bit) these two fields. Here are the changes:
- In the res.users form view:
- Display a "Login" label instead of "Email" on the login field
- Show the currently invisible email field and its label
- In the res.users tree view:
- Display the email field next to the login field
- Change the login layout to prompt for a "Login" instead of an "Email" (compatible with the web_enterprise layout)
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Separates the user login from the email address in Odoo. The user form now shows a 'Login' label and a visible Email Address field, and the login page asks for a Login instead of an Email.
In standard Odoo the login field is labelled 'Email' and is tied to the email address, which is confusing when a user signs in with something that is not an email.
This module changes how users are displayed and edited:
- On the user form (
res.users), the login field is now labelled 'Login' instead of 'Email'. - A separate 'Email Address' field is shown right below the login, and it is required.
- In the users list view, the email address is displayed next to the login, so both can be seen at a glance.
- On the Odoo login page, the field label and placeholder now say 'Login' instead of 'Email'.
No new menus, buttons, reports, automated actions or scheduled jobs are added. The module only adjusts existing screens and the login template, so it touches the user form, the user list and the web login page. It depends on the base and web modules.
