Hi

you should create a dynamic or functional selection field ( based on object) and create function that use the python timeand date module so you can give range in that function from start to end (1965 to 2020) so all the year can be created at once in that object and then you will see all the year's in selection field

Thanks

Hello, You can specify a function to populate your selection field like this

    _columns = {
   'sel' : fields.selection(
       _get_selection,
       'What do you want ?')
}

and the function could be like:

def _get_selection(self, cursor, user_id, context=None):
    return (
       ('choice1', 'This is the choice 1'),
       ('choice2', 'This is the choice 2'))

as mentioned on the website... but the problem is that the selection field populated only when the form/tree loaded and it couldn't be dynamic 'as I know' thanks....
