How to get "record name" (name_get) from a browse_record?

Question

From a browse_record (and not from the pool with name_get function), how to know it default name ?

for example :

sale_order_line.product_id._default_name (it don't works)

Thanks

You can call any object method directly from a browse_record instance, no need to reach the pool. Method parameters cr , uid and context will be passed automatically. To get the display name for your example:

sale_order_line.product_id.name_get()[0][1]

Note that name_get returns a list of pairs: [(id,name),...]

If you really need to have the value as a field! you can create a function field that uses name_get() to get the value.

Andreas Brueckl · Answer

The default name of a model can be specified by

field name (default),
field specified in _rec_name or
function name_get
If you want to have a generic way to always get the default name of an object you have to use name_get function. The browse_record does not provide a field like _default_name .
