autocomplete in Many2One fields

Question

in our custom module we have a many2One relation to product.product.
in product.product we made a custom "name_get" Funciton to add some more Information of other custom fields to the dropdown.
so in the Dropdown the name and Value of custom_field_x and custom_field_y will be shown.
when i type the name it reduces the possible Values of the Dropdown.- but if i type the value of custom_field_x it does not work.
so it correctly shows the Dropdown Values (productname + custom_field_x) but i can not

Hi,
you can use the name_search, this is a example:

@api.model
def name_search(self, name='', args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100):
if name and operator in ('=', 'ilike', '=ilike', 'like', '=like'):
args = args or []
domain = ['|', ('attribute_id', operator, name), ('value_ids', operator, name)]
return self.search(expression.AND([domain, args]), limit=limit).name_get()
return super(ProductAttributeLine, self).name_search(name=name, args=args, operator=operator, limit=limit)

*You should try with name_search for product.product to have custom_field_x.*

Hi,
name_get field will update the value displayed in the many2one field. If you need to search the record based on the custom field what you can do is that define * name_search * for the corresponding model based on the custom fields.

You can refer this blog:  How to search many2one field by other than "name" field. [1]
Thanks
