AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Lets users drag the edge of a column header in any list view to make that column wider or narrower, and keeps the chosen widths when the list is refreshed.

This module adds column resizing to list (tree) views throughout Odoo. In any list view, a small drag handle appears on the right edge of each column header; users drag it to widen or narrow the column, which is handy for long text fields or to hide space taken by short ones.

  • The chosen column widths are remembered while the list is redrawn, so sorting, paging or refreshing the list does not reset them.
  • Clicking on the resize handle does not trigger column sorting, so users can adjust a column without accidentally re-ordering the list.

It works on the standard list view renderer used by Odoo's web client, so it applies to every list view (sales orders, invoices, products, partners, stock moves, etc.) without any per-model configuration. No new menus, models, fields, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added; the change is purely in the web interface. No business rules, validations or computed values are introduced. The module only depends on the core web module and loads its JavaScript and a small third-party resizing library into the backend assets.
