Many thanks Yenthe

It does seem like a step backwards in functionality but in my experience, this is not unusual from Odoo between versions.

I am exporting from an Access database so I can probably do something with the inserting additional lines with display type set to "line_section". It appears that the lines do actually import in the sequence within the excel spreadsheet export so would this remove the need for a sequence number field?

Kind regards,

Laurence

Yeah sadly enough it happens from time to time. I've actually made a report about this specific functionality at https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/38778 where Odoo S.A gave an official response.

I didn't know that Odoo kept track of the sequence itself, if that is the case you're off pretty well. Just place the sections in the right order then, which you probably structure from within Access :)

Best of luck and thanks for the accept!

Yenthe

Thanks again Yenthe - I just read your report.

Very frustrating that Odoo makes the effort to develop business-advantageous functionality and then scraps it for ease of development. It forces us to continually change our internal processes to suit Odoo's whims between releases.

Enjoy your weekend.

Best, Laurence
