This module allows to show an x2many field with 3-tuples ($x_value, $y_value, $value) in a table
| $x_value1 | $x_value2 | |
|---|---|---|
| $y_value1 | $value(1/1) | $value(2/1) |
| $y_value2 | $value(1/2) | $value(2/2) |
where value(n/n) is editable.
An example use case would be: Select some projects and some employees so that a manager can easily fill in the planned_hours for one task per employee. The result could look like this:
The beauty of this is that you have an arbitrary amount of columns with this widget, trying to get this in standard x2many lists involves some quite ugly hacks.
Table of contents
Use this widget by saying:
<field name="my_field" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" />
This assumes that my_field refers to a model with the fields x, y and value. If your fields are named differently, pass the correct names as attributes:
<field name="my_field" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" field_x_axis="my_field1" field_y_axis="my_field2" field_value="my_field3"> <tree> <field name="my_field"/> <field name="my_field1"/> <field name="my_field2"/> <field name="my_field3"/> </tree> </field>
You can pass the following parameters:
You need a data structure already filled with values. Let’s assume we want to use this widget in a wizard that lets the user fill in planned hours for one task per project per user. In this case, we can use project.task as our data model and point to it from our wizard. The crucial part is that we fill the field in the default function:
from odoo import fields, models class MyWizard(models.TransientModel): _name = 'my.wizard' def _default_task_ids(self): # your list of project should come from the context, some selection # in a previous wizard or wherever else projects = self.env['project.project'].browse([1, 2, 3]) # same with users users = self.env['res.users'].browse([1, 2, 3]) return [ (0, 0, { 'name': 'Sample task name', 'project_id': p.id, 'user_id': u.id, 'planned_hours': 0, 'message_needaction': False, 'date_deadline': fields.Date.today(), }) # if the project doesn't have a task for the user, # create a new one if not p.task_ids.filtered(lambda x: x.user_id == u) else # otherwise, return the task (4, p.task_ids.filtered(lambda x: x.user_id == u)[0].id) for p in projects for u in users ] task_ids = fields.Many2many('project.task', default=_default_task_ids)
Now in our wizard, we can use:
<field name="task_ids" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" field_x_axis="project_id" field_y_axis="user_id" field_value="planned_hours"> <tree> <field name="task_ids"/> <field name="project_id"/> <field name="user_id"/> <field name="planned_hours"/> </tree> </field>
Note that all values in the matrix must exist, so you need to create them previously if not present, but you can control visually the editability of the fields in the matrix through field_att_disabled option with a control field.
