AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Adds a "Duplicate" option to the action menu of any list view, letting users copy the selected records in one click and immediately see the newly created copies.

This module extends every list (tree) view in Odoo with a quick way to copy records without opening them one by one.

  • When you select one or more rows in a list view, the action menu (the small gear/cog menu) now shows a "Duplicate" entry, provided the view allows both creating and duplicating records.
  • Choosing it copies each selected record using Odoo's standard copy mechanism, so the usual duplication rules of that model apply.
  • After copying, a new filter named "Duplicated Records" is automatically added to the search bar, so the list is filtered to show only the records that were just created.

It works on any model that has a list view with create and duplicate actions enabled, so it is a generic usability improvement rather than a feature tied to one specific business area. No new menus, models, reports, emails or scheduled jobs are added; the change is purely in the list view interface.

Configuration

Source · Odoo 17.0

The duplicate option is enabled by default. To disable it you have to add attribute duplicate to the tree view. Set duplicate to true to enable it or false to (explicitly) disable it.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<odoo>
    <record id="view_users_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="model">res.users</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_users_tree"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <xpath expr="//tree" position="attributes">
                <attribute name="duplicate">false</attribute>
            </xpath>
        </field>
    </record>
</odoo>

Usage

Source · Odoo 17.0

To use this module, you need to:

  • Go to any tree view
  • select some records
  • open the sidebar menu and click 'Duplicate'

Note that even when selecting all records via the top checkbox on a list, this will only duplicate the currently visible items. If you really need to duplicate all records, you need to adjust the list view limit accordingly.
