How to set field name to write typed string for quick create,create and edit,create in many2one field

Question

Hello Odooers,

I have one question, When we type any string in many2one field and they are giving one option in bottom "Create and edit" or "create". So when we click on create or create and edit button then by default it will set typed string in *name field* [technical name]. So is there any option to set which field to fill typed name?

I know that how to pass default field data by using context, but here question is how to set typed string to set in specific field.

Thanks in advance

Hi Haresh,
As an idea, I guess Odoo is using the _rec_name of that model. So by default this would be the field 'name'. So in your model, you could try to do something like:
class MyModel(models.Model):
_name = 'my_model'
_rec_name = 'my_favourite_field'
