I've read the docs and looked at the original source code for many examples, but can't seem to understand what the states="" do for a button? I originally thought this would be to only show the button in these states, but for that I see attrs="{'invisible'.. are used.

Hi,
If the attribute states are used along with a button, then the button only will be visible in the given state.
See the sample,
<button string="Confirm" type="object" name="confirm_resignation"
states='draft' class="oe_highlight"/>
Now this confirm button will only visible in the state draft.
To hide the button based on multiple conditions, like based state and some other field value,
<button name="invoice_print" string="Print Receipt" type="object"
attrs="{'invisible':['|',('sent','=',False), ('state', 'not in', ('open','paid'))]}"
groups="base.group_user"/>
If we simultaneously give attrs and states, states won't work. That's why states are given inside attrs
Thanks

Thanks! And +2 for explaining that last bit, that's exactly why I didnt get the expected behaviour (I was using states and attrs invisible
