[SOLVED] In Odoo 13, XML-RPC, how can I update a field for multiple records?

In Odoo 13, XML-RPC, how can I update a field for multiple records?

I'm attempting to update a field for multiple records.

The Odoo 13 Developer API document reads that it is possible, but does not give an example how.

"Multiple records can be updated simultaneously, but they will all get the same values for the fields being set."

The below does not work:

    models.execute_kw(db, uid, pw, 'table.name', 'write',
                                   [[records_to_update], {'field': value}])

records_to_update is a list of the record ids.

I receive this error:

"-> message_values = dict((message_id, {}) for message_id in self.ids)"

I have spent quite some time searching for an answer and have come up blank so far.

Solution

You should see the following error message:

unhashable type: 'list'

records_to_update is a list of the record ids and it should be the first argument to the write function

Example:

models.execute_kw(db, uid, pw, 'table.name', 'write',
                                   [records_to_update, {'field': value}])
