auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets developers and administrators create a single action that runs several other actions one after another, so a button or menu can open multiple screens or trigger several steps in sequence.

This module adds a new kind of action to Odoo called a multi-action. Instead of doing one thing when clicked, it runs a list of other actions in order, one after the other.

  • A new action type ir.actions.act_multi is available. It stores a list of actions to execute.
  • When a user triggers it (for example from a button or menu built by a developer), Odoo opens or performs each of the listed actions in sequence.
  • The action is handled in the web client, so it works anywhere actions are used in the backend interface.
  • Only users in the Settings group (system administrators) can create, edit or delete these multi-actions; other users can still run them if they are part of a screen or menu.
  • The module also makes sure that when it is uninstalled, the related technical model and its fields are cleaned up properly.

It does not add its own menus or reports. It is a building block used by other modules or customizations to chain actions together, for example to open a form and then a list, or to run several steps from one click.
