When exporting a tree view to an Excel file, you can decide if you want to export only the main groups or the full tree, depending if all groups are collapsed, or there is one open.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

When exporting a list view to Excel, this module decides automatically whether to export only the collapsed groups or the full expanded tree, depending on what is currently open on screen.

This module changes how the Excel export behaves when you export a grouped list view.

  • If every group is collapsed (no data rows are visible, only group headers), the export contains only the group-level lines, without the individual records inside them.
  • If at least one group is open and shows its records, the export contains the full tree, including the individual records.

The decision is made automatically when you press the export button on a list view; there is no extra option to tick. The module works by checking the list view state at export time and passing that information to the server-side Excel export, which then keeps or removes the detail lines of each group.

It only affects the Excel export of list views (ListController) and the /web/export/xlsx route. It does not add menus, models, reports, emails or scheduled actions, and it does not change any stored data. It simply makes the exported file match what the user is currently seeing: collapsed groups export as a summary, expanded groups export with their details.
