AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Adds an "Export HTML as text" checkbox to Odoo's export dialog, so HTML fields are downloaded as plain text instead of raw HTML markup.

When you export records from a list view, Odoo normally writes HTML fields (like descriptions or notes) with all their HTML tags. This module adds a checkbox labelled "Export HTML as text" in the export dialog. If you tick it, the exported file contains readable plain text for those HTML fields.

  • The checkbox appears in the standard export dialog, right after the export format options.
  • The conversion only happens when the checkbox is ticked; otherwise the export behaves exactly as before.
  • Only fields that are actually HTML fields are converted; other columns are left untouched.
  • The conversion also works when the HTML field is reached through a related record path in the export.

The change is applied to the export process of all models through the base model, and the export dialog is extended in the web client. No new menus, reports or scheduled actions are added.
