I'm using context from the model for 2 Many2one fields. Both link to the same model, but context should be different depending on a search result.

These are the relevant parts of the code:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    _inherits = ...
    _name   = ...
    #...
    def _search_function(self):
        # some logic here

        return self.env['related.model'].search_read(...)[0]['id']
    # ...
    first_relational_field = fields.Many2one(  
           string="...",
           help="...", 
           comodel_name="other.model",
           domain="[('this_same_model_id','=',id)]",
           context="{'default_related_model_id': "+ str(self._search_function()) +"}",
            )

But the next error raises when upgrading the module:

...

context="{'default_price_version_id': "+ str(self._search_function()) +"}"

NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Can methods be defined inside a model and then called to generate parameters in the fields?

Why is self not available for the model?

You cannot use self when defining class properties. Self only exist when you are running code inside a class method.

That's right, my mistake, thank you. I ended trying self because I can't manage to call a method to return a value I want to insert into the context string. Calling just _search_function() raises TypeError: wrapper() takes at least 1 argument (0 given) The only argument _search_function() takes is self. Using a callable as we do when passing a compute function doesn't work either, raises no errors on update, but when the context is passed to the view I get this: Error: NameError: name '_get_default_version' is not defined Thanks a lot for you input.
