HI,
To override the create button and set the default value for the is_a_book field to True when creating a product, you can use the default_ context key in the action definition.
Here is the example code:
<record id="product_template_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Books</field>
<field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
<field name="res_model">product.template</field>
<field name="view_mode">kanban,tree,form</field>
<field name="context">{'default_is_a_book': True}</field>
</record>
Regards
Hi, for that you need to inherit the create method in the appropriate model (product.template) to add your business logic and call the super.
@api.model
def create(self, vals):
# Do some business logic, modify vals...
...
# Then call super to execute the parent method
return super().create(vals)

Thanks @Cybrosys,your code works. Can you possibly tell me how change the view of my custom model like here you can see all the products instead of i want to see only book in my custom model
Add domain like this
<record id="product_template_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Books</field>
<field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
<field name="res_model">product.template</field>
<field name="view_mode">kanban,tree,form</field>
<field name="domain">[('default_is_a_book', '=', True)]</field
<field name="context">{'default_is_a_book': True}</field>
</record>
