Namecolumn attribute for a field

English Forum Technical

Hi,

Just to be shure: can you confirm that if a field is a many2one relation, values displayed in the form (as a combo) is values of the related domain field that has a namecolumn attribute to true ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Hi, at least this is the behaviour I’ve so far… I guess I can confirm.

Also, the nameColumn can be made more significant with thing like this:

<string name="nomComplet" namecolumn="true" search="adresseL2,adresseL3,adresseL4,adresseL5,adresseL6,adresseL7" title="Adresse">
			<![CDATA[
			return adresseL4 + " " + adresseL6 + " " + adresseL7 + " " +adresseL8;
			]]>
	    </string>

To complete @alci answer, reference fields (ie m2m, o2o) will display either the namecolumn field (if defined), else they display the name field if exist. If none of these fields are define, id is displayed.

is there any way to make this ‹ complete › field transient, so you don’t have to save it to db?, i tried but without any success. I even tried to specify two fields with namecolumn=true but it doesn’t work.

Thanks

Hello @federicocanzonieri .
You can do it by defining a field formula=true .
It will be a a complete transient field.
