Hi, I am using odoo11.

I have two models. The first model inherits from res.partner and has a custom field "code". The other model is a new one built from scratch (let's call it model_X), and has a many2one field referring to res.partner.

By default, in my form view for model_X, the dropdown related to the many2one field displays the description of the partner. I would like the "code" field to be displayed instead.

Is that possible? Thank you as always.

Thanks for the answer, this actually works, but then every occurrence of res.partner's name is going to change everywhere. Is there a way to obtain the same result only in that specific dropdown many2one field? Thanks

But i want other column show only in search drop down. When i use name_get, and i save record, field many2one will show all field that i defined in name_get function.
