How to call a method:

Question

Hello,
I have a form for "Test". In that form i have two fields, "test_category(such as "written","interview","medical")" and "total_marks". I compute total marks from other fields. As you know when we compute a field using "compute" then it becomes readonly. Now i want that when my "test_category" is "written" only then "total_marks" field should be readonly or computed, otherwise it should be editable.
help please,
Thank you

Hi,
You can make a compute field editable by writing its inverse function by declaring
total_marks = fields.Float(compute='_compute_total_marks', inverse='_inverse_total_marks') Here '*_inverse_total_marks*' is the inverse function of the field *total_marks*(in inverse function just write the inverse of the compute function).
After making the field editable follow the below steps
in .py
def _compute_total_marks(self):
if self.test_category == 'written':
"""Write steps for computing the total mar

try this one.
one = fields.Float()
two = fields.Float()
total = fields.Float(compute='_get_sum')

@api.depends('one', 'two')
def _get_sum(self):
for rec in self:
rec.update({
'total': rec.one+rec.two,
})
