Hey,

'compute with store' is triggered by the decorator @api.depends(''). You can't trigger it by form load (in such a way only compute without store works)

As parameters you should specify definite fields. It is possible to define fields of reference fields (m2o, o2m, m2m).

E.g.

@api.multi

@api.depends('depend_1', 'depend_2.name', 'depend_3.name')

def _compute_myfield(self):

for object in self:

value = ''

if object.depend_1:

value += object.depend_1 

if object.depend_2 and object.depend_2.name:

value += object.depend_2.name

for item in object.depend_3:

if item.name:

value += item.name

object.myfield  =value  

myfield = fields.Char()

depend_1 = fields.Char()

depend_2 = fields.Many2one('some.class')

depend_3 = fields.Many2many('some.class.two')

So compute would be triggered in 3 cases:

1. depend_1 is changed

2. depend_2 or its name is changed

3. any of depend_3 names is changed

It would happen before write/create. But order would be applied after those functions (since values should be saved in a database)
