I have a model with a many2one field which allows me to create new records, so I want to pass one of the values selected in the Model A to the floating creation window of the Model B.
I was reading about using context, but I'm not sure if that can be used in this case.
Model A - Feature
Desc >Char
Alternatives > O2M(Alternative,feature_id)
Model B - Alternative
Desc >Char
feature_id >M2O(feature)
EDIT I: Adding relations between my models
I'm actually using 4 models, version, feature, alternative and tag, I want to create a version for each feature I have, a feature have alternatives and every alternative have tags
In the version I want to select the feature and then can add the tags related to the alternatives of the feature.
**version**
feature_id m2o>feature
desc char
tag_ids o2m>tag,alternative_id
**tag**
caption char
alternative_id m2o>alternative
**alternative**
desc char
feature_id m2o>feature
tag_ids o2m>tag,alternative_id
**feature**
desc char
alternative_ids o2m>alternative,feature_id
Can I use the context to create new tags on a version? or I have to use a related fields?
to pass a value to the form of the m2o field:
<field name="m2o_field_name" context="{'default_field_name': field_name}"/>
example:
<field name="partner_id" context="{'default_email': company_email}" />
here in my model a have m2o partner_id and a field named company_email and when i click create and edit what ever the value of company_email will be passed to email field in partner form.
you can pass static value like 'default_name': 'charif'
or you can pass value of a field named field_example
like this 'default_name': field_example
EDITS:
version --> feature <--- alternative <--- tags
ok first you need to create m2o from tags to features:
# don't forget store=True so you can create a o2m
feature_id = fields.Many2one(related='alternative_id.feature_id', store=True, readonly=true)
now create a o2m from features to tags.
tag_ids = fields.One2many('tag.model.name', 'feature_id', 'Tags')
and here you can create a related field from version to feature tags.
tag_ids = fields.One2many(related='feature_id.tag_ids', readonly=true)
