Hi, I need to add a custom information (the brand of the product) in the product model (product.template). I can see there are 2 options : Create a custom fields in Settings -> Technical -> Models (or Fields) Add a property in the product.template form (⚙ -> Add Properties) But what is the difference of both options and the possible impact to take into consideration ? Thank you

Hi,

I need to add a custom information (the brand of the product) in the product model (product.template).
I can see there are 2 options :

Create a custom fields in Settings -> Technical -> Models (or Fields)
Add a property in the product.template form (⚙ -> Add Properties)

But what is the difference of both options and the possible impact to take into consideration ?

Thank you

Can you elaborate on an impact on API for both options? Thanks.

Hi,

In Odoo, creating custom fields in Settings are stored in the database may have a slight performance impact, especially with a large number of fields and require technical knowledge and access to the settings. While in Add a property, fields are simpler to add and do not impact performance as they are not stored as separate entities in the database.

Hope it helps

Hi !
Thank you for your answer !

Do you know where are stored the data when using Add a property ?
For custom fieds, it is stored directly in the model (for example product.sales model for orders), but how can we access the "Add a property" data ? I need to access it through the XML RPC API from a 3rd party application

Thank you
