This module allows to add an option size to Char fields in web client:
that allows to enter only the specified number of characters in the field.
Adding "size" as a parameter while defining Char field is deprecated officially.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets developers define a maximum number of characters for text fields in Odoo forms, so users cannot type more than the allowed length.
This module adds a size limit to simple text fields (Char fields) in the Odoo web client. When a field is configured with a size option, the input box stops accepting characters once that limit is reached.
- It works behind the scenes in the web interface; there is no new menu or screen.
- The limit is set by the developer when defining the field, not by the user.
- It applies to all simple text fields that use the standard Char widget.
- The module only changes the behaviour of the web client; it does not add or modify any database tables or business documents.
Because the module is in the Hidden category, users will not see it in the Apps list unless they filter for hidden modules. It is a technical tool for developers who need to enforce a maximum length on text input without using the deprecated size parameter.
