Hi,

To achieve the desired functionality where the Many2one field 'ledger_acc' in your Odoo model returns the value of the 'ledger_acc' field instead of the ID of the selected record from the 'coa_ledgers', you can use the 'name_get' method:

class CoaLedgers(models.Model):
_name = 'coa_ledgers'

name = fields.Char(string='Name')
ledger_acc = fields.Char(string='Ledger A/c')

def name_get(self):
result = []
for record in self:
name = record.ledger_acc
result.append((record.id, name))
return result

Regards

thanks, but may be i failed to convery the problem OR may be i failed to understand what solution you have posted here.
anyway there are 2 things when it populates dropdown list (Many2one), (1) a display value and (2) a return value
i am asking about Return Value which will save in current Many2one field to make relation / reference to its parent model.
hope that clear.
very sorry for any inconvenience.

i think simple Comment is not able to inform someone here that this thread/toipic is updated. and also i faced posting the Error text and my code, i request to Delete a post due to this problem and ask to guide me for How To's but simply post Deleted silently, because this is simple and nobody helped for How To's because this was not possible for him.
