Hi,

For adding new values to an existing selection field in Odoo, you can do it by using the selection_add , see the below example,

alias_contact = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('employees', 'Authenticated Employees')])

Original field definition:


alias_contact = fields.Selection([
    ('everyone', 'Everyone'),
    ('partners', 'Authenticated Partners'),
    ('followers', 'Followers only')], default='everyone',
    string='Alias Contact Security', required=True,
    help="Policy to post a message on the document using the mailgateway.\n"
         "- everyone: everyone can post\n"
         "- partners: only authenticated partners\n"
         "- followers: only followers of the related document or members of following channels\n")

Thanks

Hi,

Replacing an existing field is not a good option. For extending an existing selection field you can use the method selection_add. For reference you can use the below example

field_name = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('name', 'display_name')])

Hope it helps

Odoo 16 


field_name = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('name', 'display_name'), ('name', 'display_name'), ('name', 'display_name')])
field_name2 = ['display_name']

When I tried to use a comparison in domain search. It is not working.

all = self.env["field_name module"].search([("type",=,"field_name2")]) 

But working to search by name. it is not working to search by display name
