Hi Paulo,

You can create a Boolean  field called 'is_saved' in your model and give it a default value of False. Then overwrite the create method to update the value to True after the record has been successfully saved. Here is the code;

class SomeModel(models.Model):
...

is_saved = fields.BooleanField(default=False)

@api.model
def create(self, vals, *args, **kwargs):
    record = super(SomeModel, self).create(vals, *args, **kwargs)
    record.is_saved = True
    return record

Then you can tell whether you are editing or creating a record by calling this field. For example on your onchange method you can do:

@api.onchange('some_field')
def onchange_some_field(self):
    vals = {}
    if not self.is_saved:
        vals.update({...})
    return {'value': vals}

if you have specific action and you want to run for both cases,

you can override the create and write method and specify the action inside them,

but generally create functions runs only once and the each save operation will call the write function

Regards

Hi Paulo,

I am not perfectly understanding you, what actually you want to do.

If you want do detect that record is creating or editing then you can override create() and write() accordingly. and in that you can get created new values and edited new values in create()/write()

See reference: https://goo.gl/FM1B72

if you want to detect event then you have to do JS code i think..

accept and upvote answer if helpful.

Thanks and regards
