This modules modifies “many2one” and “many2manytags” form widgets so as to add some new display control options.

Options provided includes possibility to remove “Create…” and/or “Create and Edit…” entries from many2one drop down. You can also change default number of proposition appearing in the drop-down. Or prevent the dialog box poping in case of validation error.

If not specified, the module will avoid proposing any of the create options if the current user has no permission rights to create the related object.

field_color string

A string to define the field used to define color. This option has to be used with colors.

A dictionary to link field value with a HTML color. This option has to be used with field_color.

no_open_edit boolean (Default: value of no_open which is False if not set)

open boolean (Default: False)

no_color_picker boolean (Default: False)

Deactivates the color picker on many2many_tags buttons to do nothing (ignored if open is set)

ir.config_parameter options

Now you can disable “Create…” and “Create and Edit…” entry for all widgets in the odoo instance. If you disable one option, you can enable it for particular field by setting “create: True” option directly on the field definition.

web_m2x_options.create boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the “Create…” entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.create_edit boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display “Create and Edit…” entry in dropdown panel for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.m2o_dialog boolean (Default: depends if user have create rights)

Whether to display the many2one dialog in case of validation error for all fields in the odoo instance.

web_m2x_options.limit int (Default: openerp default value is 7)

Number of displayed record in drop-down panel for all fields in the odoo instance

web_m2x_options.search_more boolean (Default: default value is False)

Whether the field should always show “Search more…” entry or not.

To add these parameters go to Configuration -> Technical -> Parameters -> System Parameters and add new parameters like:

  • web_m2x_options.create: False

  • web_m2x_options.create_edit: False

  • web_m2x_options.m2o_dialog: False

  • web_m2x_options.limit: 10

  • web_m2x_options.search_more: True

Example

Your XML form view definition could contain:

...
<field name="partner_id" options="{'limit': 10, 'create': false, 'create_edit': false, 'search_more':true 'field_color':'state', 'colors':{'active':'green'}}"/>
...

Known issues / Roadmap

Double check that you have no inherited view that remove options you set on a field ! If nothing works, add a debugger in the first line of _search method and enable debug mode in Odoo. When you write something in a many2one field, javascript debugger should pause. If not verify your installation.

  • Instead of making the tags rectangle clickable, I think it’s better to put the text as a clickable link, so we will get a consistent behaviour/aspect with other clickable elements (many2one…).

  • In edit mode, it would be great to add an icon like the one on many2one fields to allow to open the many2many in a popup window.

  • Include this feature as a configurable option via parameter to have this behaviour by default in all many2many tags.
