Finally got solution. Thanks Yenthe, to bring it up.

selection = [('a', 'A'), ('b', 'B')] 

selection_add = [('c', 'C'), ('b',)] 

> result = [('a', 'A'), ('c', 'C'), ('b', 'B')]

Hi Alpesh,

Sadly there is no way to do this in Odoo right now, its a limitation of the current framework. You'll either need to use selection_add to add the element at the end of the selection:

 state = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('to_approve', 'To approve')])

or recreate the whole field definition from scratch so you can add the selection value at the place you'd like:

state = fields.Selection(selection=[
    ('draft', 'Draft'),
    ('to_approve', 'To approve'),
    ('posted', 'Posted'),
    ('cancel', 'Cancelled')
    ], string='Status', required=True, readonly=True, copy=False, tracking=True,default='draft')


Regards,
Yenthe

Thanks Yenthe. but i prefer to use selection_add.

hope odoo give some positional attribute to add it on specific location in future version.

its shows me warring in log, to use 'add_selection' instead of overwrite whole field.

Yeah and I can understand why :-) I know Odoo has discussed position attributes somewhere in the past (e.g. by adding a sequence to every key of a selection field) but it has never been implemented/approved by Odoo S.A. sadly.

Yenthe Van Ginneken (Mainframe Monkey)

Its an informative warning from Odoo that has been added in V13 (or V12). You can ignore it but its a fact that in most cases a selection_add is the best solution.
