I have been developing modules in OpenERP-7 using Python on Ubuntu-12.04. I want to give my users a feature by which they will have the ability to create what ever fields they want to . Like they will set the name, data_type etc for the field and then on click , this field will be created. I dont have any idea how this will be implemented. I have set up mind to create a button that will call a function and it will create a new field according to the details entered by the user . Is this approach of mine is right or not? And will this work . ? Please guide me so that I can work smartly.

Hopes for suggestion

ok is see. I have created a field with hardcoded details . is there anything I can do to give the field any string n type dynamically . Since we cant connect this function to a button , thats why I am facing problems. Thanks a lot
