Hello, I have a custom module and I need it to open a custom form view depending on which line is selected from the list.  I made three menu items which filter the licenses based on the type of license it is. This is what I have so far:

Menu items:

  1. Temporary Licenses: Filters for temporary licenses and opens the regular licenses form view
  2. Permanent Licenses: Filters for permanent licenses and opens the regular licenses form view
  3. Stand Alone Licenses: Filters for stand alone licenses and needs to open a custom form view

Numbers 1 and 2 are just read only forms, and cant create or edit anything on them.  Number 3 I need to be able to create and edit records through a custom form view.  Can I call another form view based on the type of item from the filtered Licenses list and how?  Thank you

You can pass the parameter view_id in your action definition. Define two actions and assign the first one to the first 2 menu elements, and the second one (the one with view_id defined to be the id of your custom form view) to the third menu element.

Thank you Leonardo for your reply. I did what you suggested and it worked. However when the form opens, it is in the create/new mode where it thinks you are creating a new record. Is there a way to display the tree view first, then the form once the red Create button is clicked? Here is my action if it helps at all

 

<record id="action_view_stand_alone_licenses" model="ir.actions.act_window"> <field name="name">Stand Alone License</field> <field name="res_model">sale.licenses</field> <field name="view_type">form</field> <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field> <field name="view_id" ref="view_stand_alone_license_form"/> <field name="search_view_id" ref="view_licenses_search"/> <field name="context">{"search_default_stand_alone_lic": 1, }</field> </record>
