Use a search widget in advanced search for x2x fields

Search for x2x records in advanced search

Standard behavior in advanced search for one2many, many2many and many2one fields is to do a name_search. This often is not satisfactionary as you might want to search for other properties. There might also be cases where you don’t exactly know what you’re searching for, then a list of possible options is necessary too. This module enables you to have a full search view to select the record in question, and either select specific records or select them using a search query of its own.

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

• open the advanced search options in a search view

• select a one2many, many2many or many2one field

• select operator is equal to or is not equal to

• the textfield changes to a many2one selection field where you can search for the record in question

• click Apply

To search for properties of linked records (ie invoices for customers with a credit limit higher than X):

• open the advanced search options in a search view

• select a one2many, many2many or many2one field

• select operator is in selection

• in the search view that pops up, select the criteria

• select the records you want, or select the top corner box to select all matching records with that criteria

• click Select

Note that you can stack searching for properties: Simply add another advanced search in the selection search window. You can do this indefinetely, so it is possible to search for moves belonging to a journal which has a user who is member of a certain group etc.

Known issues / Roadmap

• When you use is in selection search system and choose a domain, it gets immediately applied, so to add a new condition, you will have to use again the Filters menu.
