auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you share a user-defined default value with several users or whole user groups, instead of it applying to only one person.

In standard Odoo, a default value saved for a field belongs to a single user. This module extends that behaviour so a default can be made available to more people at once.

On the default value form (the screen where you set a default for a field), you now see two extra fields next to the owner: 'Available for Users' and 'Available for Groups'. Pick individual users and/or user groups, and the default becomes active for all of them. The owner field is simply relabelled 'Owner'.

The same two columns are added to the list of default values, and you can also search and filter defaults by the users and groups they are shared with.

Behind the scenes, the module keeps a computed list of users that combines the individually selected users with all members of the selected groups, and it changes how Odoo looks up which default applies to the current user, so shared defaults are taken into account alongside personal ones and company-specific ones.

This touches the default values model ir.default and its form, list and search views. No new menus are added; the changes appear inside the existing default values screens.
