If a list contains a node which is not a field (e.g. a button), it will
not be found in the fields so we'll have an error trying to get 'type'
from undefined.
Clickable many2one fields for tree views
========================================
This addon provides a separate widget to allow many2one fields in a tree view
open the linked resource when clicking on their name.
You can also define a system parameter to have this behaviour for all the
existing many2one fields in tree views.
Installation
============
Install it the regular way.
Configuration
=============
If you want to have all many2one fields clickable by default, you have to
define in *Configuration > Technical > Parameters > System parameters*, a new
parameter with name `web_tree_many2one_clickable.default` and with value
`true`.
Usage
=====
For the widget option, you need to add `widget="many2one_clickable"` attribute
in the XML field definition in the tree view.
For example:
`<field name="partner_id" widget="many2one_clickable" />`
will open the linked partner in a form view.
Known issues / Roadmap
======================
* You cannot deactivate clickable behaviour for an specific many2one field if
you configure the system parameter.
* The value of the system parameter is retrieved for each many2one field
present in the view instead of only once.
The focus introduced on the 16.0 migration is causing a flickering effect
that is a bit annoying and does not make complete sense, because if you
click more than once the cursor is positioned at the end of the text,
which makes it difficult to edit the input.
The counterpart of these changes is that to edit the input using the
keyboard we will have to click on the field. Although this is how the
module has been operating since its inception.
