The code in this module is a backport of https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/592794b397ba7f6468e45a5cc3e93681b1ed8578 from Odoo 17, so this module should not be ported beyond version 16.

The new enable_formatting option in Odoo 17 replaces the format option in Odoo 15.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

This module lets developers show number fields without thousands separators in Odoo list and form views. By default numbers keep their usual formatting, so existing screens are unchanged.

This is a technical module aimed at developers who build or customise Odoo screens. It adds a new option called enable_formatting that can be set on float and integer fields in list and form views.

  • When the option is not set, numbers are displayed as usual, with thousands separators.
  • When the option is set to false, the raw number is shown without separators (for example 1234567 instead of 1,234,567).
  • The option is read from the field's options in the view definition, so it is configured in the view, not by end users.

The change is applied by patching the standard float field, integer field and list renderer components, so it affects how values are rendered in the web client. No new menus, models, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added, and no business rules or validations are introduced. The module only changes the display of numeric values; stored data and calculations are untouched. It is a backport of a feature that exists in later Odoo versions, so it is meant for Odoo 16 only.
