If you want to add field in which users selects a year: make a selection field. An example for a year from 2000 to 2030:

@api.model
def year_selection(self):
    year = 2000 # replace 2000 with your a start year
    year_list = []
    while year != 2030: # replace 2030 with your end year
        year_list.append((str(year), str(year)))
        year += 1
    return year_list

year = fields.Selection(
    year_selection,
    string="Year",
    default="2019", # as a default value it would be 2019
)

If you want to retrieve a year from a date variable:

start_year.year #odoo 12
fields.Date.from_string(start_year).year #earlier versions

Have a look at the Python datetime documentation - https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html

It gives error on using that function name inside the selection field

Bishal Ghimire

You need to call function by selection='function_name'

year = fields.Selection(

selection='years_selection',

string="Year",

default="2019", # as a default value it would be 2019

)

year_of_completion = fields.Selection(
    selection='years_selection',
    string="Estimated Year of Completion",
    default="2021"  # as a default value it would be 2019
)


def years_selection(self):
    year_list = []
    for y in range(datetime.now().year, datetime.now().year + 10):
        year_list.append((str(y), str(y)))
    return year_list

I have already defined these two and these are working fine in my localhost. But when I pushed it onto live server, it doesn't work. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi,

try this code to get year or month.

date = datetime.strptime(date_field, DEFAULT_SERVER_DATE_FORMAT)
month = date.month
year = date.year
