This module allows to track all fields on every model that has a chatter, including one2many and many2many ones. This excludes the computed, readonly, related fields by default. In addition, line changes of a one2many field can be tracked (e.g. product_uom_qty of an order_line in a sale order).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets administrators choose which fields Odoo tracks in the chatter for any model, including one2many and many2many fields, and automatically logs changes made on the lines of those relations.
This module extends the standard chatter tracking so that administrators can decide, per model, which fields are followed. On the model configuration screen (Settings > Technical > Models) a new "Custom Tracking" section appears with an "Active" switch, an "Automatic configuration" option, an editable domain and an "Update" button that applies the domain to the model's fields.
- A "Tracked Fields" button shows how many fields are currently tracked and opens the list of trackable fields, where each field has a toggle to turn custom tracking on or off.
- Fields that are stored, not related and not technical (such as messages or activities) are considered trackable; binary fields are excluded from the list.
- When automatic configuration is enabled, the module proposes a default domain per model (for example product, sales orders and invoices) and can update all matching fields in one click.
- Changes on lines of a one2many relation (for example order lines of a sale order or invoice lines of an accounting entry) are logged in the chatter of the parent record, showing whether a line was created, deleted or modified, with old and new values.
- Many2many changes are also summarised in the chatter.
- HTML fields that Odoo cannot track natively are converted to plain text so their changes still appear in the chatter.
The module touches ir.model, ir.model.fields, mail.thread, mail.tracking.value and the base model, and adds search filters to find fields with custom tracking on or off.
