Clickable many2one fields for tree views
This addon forces Odoo to use many2one widget on a many2one fields in tree views. This allows users to open linked resources from trees directly, using a button without accessing the form.
This also works in the lines of sales, purchases and invoices.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a small arrow button next to many2one fields in list (tree) views, so users can open the linked record's form directly from the list without leaving it.
This module changes how list views behave when they show a link to another record (a many2one field, such as the customer on a sales order or the product on an invoice line).
- In any list view, an extra small arrow button appears next to each many2one value that has a record set.
- Clicking that button opens the linked record in a form view, in the current window, instead of opening the row itself.
- The button only appears when the field really is a many2one, has a value, and the column is not marked to hide it (a column option called
no_open). - Any context defined on the column is passed along when opening the linked record.
It works everywhere list views are used, including the lines of sales orders, purchase orders and invoices, because it patches the standard list renderer (ListRenderer) of the web client. No new menus, models, reports or scheduled actions are added; the change is purely a user-interface convenience. The module is in the Hidden category and depends only on web.
