For form views, I was able to specify context for a many2one field for name_get and name_search, however, I cannot pass context to list views since the <fields> do not take context="" as an attribute. How do I work around this?
In detail, I have a Shipment and Order class:
class Shipment(models.Model):
_name = "custom_shipment"
_rec_name = "shipment_name"
order_id = fields.Many2one('custom_order')
shipment_name = fields.Char(string = "Shipment Identifier")
class Order(models.Model):
_name = "custom_order"
_rec_name = "order_name"
order_name = fields.Char(string = "Order Identifier")
@api.multi
def name_get(self):
special_switch = self._context.get('special_switch','')
if(special_switch == '1'):
#do something special
elif(special_switch == '2'):
#do something else
else:
#do something else again
return result
As well as views to display Shipments:
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="custom_shipment_form">
<field name="name">custom_shipment.form</field>
<field name="model">custom_shipment</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form>
<sheet>
<field name="order_id" context="{'special_switch':context.get('special_switch')}"/>
<field name="shipment_name"/>
</sheet>
</form>
</field>
</record>
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="custom_shipment_list">
<field name="name">custom_shipment.tree</field>
<field name="model">custom_shipment</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<tree>
<field name="order_id"/>
<field name="shipment_name"/>
</tree>
</field>
</record>
In the form view, the context is passed, and the correct name is generated, however specify the same thing for order_id field in tree/list view and the context is not passed as per the documentation. Is there a work around?
