Dear all,

I am using Odoo 12 and stucked with a "compute" method set on a field.
My problem is on "write" method. Odoo is calling again the same "compute" method and overriding user entered data.

My field is declared as:

myfield = fields.Char('My field', compute='_get_value', readonly=False, store=True)

def _get_values(self)
    #Code here that sets a default value to "myfield" field and working as expected
    

My problem is this "_get_value" method is called on write method and overrides user entered data.

I have played around with some print() statements and can see that this "_get_value" method runs on form load and also on write method.

Also tried to add:

@api.depends('myfield')
def _get_values(self)
    #...

... at the begging of "_get_value" method with no success!

How can I prevent this "_get_value" compute method to run always, or at least at "write" method?

Thank you all in advance

Best regards

PM

Hi Paulo,

You may try to use `write_uid` or `write_date` in depends of the compute method.

These 2 fields will always be updated whenever any change is made and saved.

Ex:

@api.depends('write_date', 'write_uid')

@Sudhir Arya,

Thank you very much.

Using your approach I am able to achieve what I need.

Now the compute method only runs on form load.

Thank you very much
