In my form view I have added a simple button of type object-

<button name="select_call_api" string="select" type="object"/>

And in my python model file I have added the function call-

def select_call_api(self):
    print("select_call_api called")


But on button click it's by default doing form validation. Like if there are any mandatory fields and
they are not filled, then it's throwing "The following fields are invalid:" Error.
How do I disable or skip the form validation?

Hello,


I am not sure this is still needed but I have found a way.


This has been tested with Odoo 10.


I have found that using the `special` attribute allowed you to bypass validation.

Also, no validation is made on the value of the special attribute and only the value `cancel` is used to cancel.


Define your button this way:


                            name="abort" 
                            string="Abort"
                            type="object"
                            class="btn btn-default"
                            special="[ANYTHING BUT NOT cancel]"


and it will disable form validation, will not trigger `create` or `write` method but will trigger the method set as name (abort in this case).

There is no way because odoo framework architecture designed that way. when you click on the button framework try to create a new record and it will check all the required fields.

A workaround is checking form validation on fields onchange it didn't require to create a record first. however, all the fields value get on the server-side.
