When opening a form from an function returning an action code as in the example below, I was wondering how could I explicitly specify the state of the form, wether it's in edit or browse mode ?

'type': "ir.actions.act_window"
'res_model': 'model'
'view_type': 'form'
'view_mode': 'form'
'target': 'current'
'context': context

I noticed the following:

  • 'target' = 'new'opens in edit mode (as when creating wizards..)
  • 'target' = 'current' opens in browse mode (as in regular form views)
  • context does not seem to contain any specific instructions

Thanks for your time. Nicolas

@Nicolas: please mark the answer as correct (below the vote). Also, I converted your thanks to a comment (I couldn't move it under the answer though), because that's not an answer, only real answer should be posted as such.

You can set 'target' = 'inline'. This opens a form in edit mode.

Also needed this, thank you!

Andreas, when returning an action that has 'target' = 'inline' in the case of the sale.order it indeed opens it in edit mode but the top menu (Create, Edit, Save,Print, More) disapears alltogether.Do you have any idea why that happens and how to prevent it?

Rafael Valle

This solution is not valid, because the top menus disappear from view. Is there any other way? thanks in advance.

Found this way in calendar module and it works fine :-)

Add following key into the action dict:

'flags': {'form': {'action_buttons': True, 'options': {'mode': 'edit'}}},

Just add the dictionnary flags like that and you will get buttons save/cancel and the form in edit mode:

'flags': {'initial_mode': 'edit'},

On Odoo 11, and from javascript, add this to the object:

context: {'form_view_initial_mode': 'edit','force_detailed_view': true},

I developped this module to achieve that.  install it and use 'target' : 'current_edit' to open form in edit mode
