AI-generated from the code · Odoo 20.0

Adds a checkbox on product attributes that controls whether all attribute values are filled in automatically when the attribute is added to a product. When the option is off, the values are left empty so users pick them manually.

This module gives you a new setting on product attributes (the characteristics used to build product variants, such as size or colour).

On the attribute form, a new checkbox appears next to the variant creation mode, but only when the attribute is set to "never create variants" (for example, an informational attribute). The checkbox is ticked by default, which keeps Odoo's normal behaviour: all values of the attribute are filled in automatically.

When you untick it and then add that attribute to a product, the list of values is left empty instead of being pre-filled. The user then chooses only the values that are relevant for that product. If the attribute is used to create variants, or if the checkbox stays ticked, nothing changes and Odoo fills the values as usual.

The change touches the product attribute model product.attribute and the attribute lines on product templates product.template.attribute.line. It only affects the attribute configuration screen; no new menus, reports or scheduled actions are added.
