auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Shows the exact date next to the remaining days in Odoo's Remaining Days field, so users see both the countdown and the target date at a glance.

This module changes how the Remaining Days field is displayed in Odoo. Normally that field only shows a relative countdown such as "in 5 days" or "3 days ago". With this module, when the countdown is within 99 days, the exact date is added in brackets after the relative text, for example "in 5 days (2024-06-15)".

  • The exact date is shown by default, but it can be turned off per field through the field's options.
  • The exact date is only added when the remaining days value is 99 days or less, matching Odoo's own limit for showing the exact date.
  • The change applies wherever the Remaining Days field is used in the backend, such as deadline or due-date fields on records.

No new menus, models, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added. The module only patches the existing Remaining Days field widget in the web client, so it affects the display of dates across Odoo screens that use that widget.
