In standard Odoo you can edit user filters via the debug module. The problem is that normal users often don't have access to this menu therefore can't adjust filters once they're saved. This module makes this feature available for normal users with a user friendly interface. It also adds the ability to adjust facets (a single part of the filter).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Lets normal users edit saved search filters (favorites) directly from the search bar, without needing developer/debug access. You can rename, change, or remove individual parts of a filter and save the updated version.
This module makes saved search filters (called favorites) editable by regular users, not just administrators with debug mode. It adds a small pencil icon next to each favorite in the search bar's filter menu. Clicking that icon opens a popover where you can see and change the individual parts of the filter, such as filters, groupings, and field selections.
When you save a favorite, the module stores the exact set of active search facets along with it. Later, when you click a favorite, you can unpack it to restore those saved facets. The module also prevents saving a favorite without a name and blocks duplicate names, showing a warning message.
It works on the search bar used across Odoo screens. The underlying ir.filters model gets an extra field to remember the saved facets, and the search behavior is extended so that favorites carry this information. No new menus or reports are added; everything happens in the existing search interface.
