Hi,

Inherit the form view for CRM leads and remove the action_add_property entry from the action menu using XML view inheritance.

Example:

<record id="crm_lead_form_inherit_no_props" model="ir.ui.view">

    <field name="name">crm.lead.form.no.properties</field>

    <field name="model">crm.lead</field>

    <field name="inherit_id" ref="crm.crm_case_form_view_oppor"/>

    <field name="arch" type="xml">

        <xpath expr="//div[@class='o_dropdown_menu']//a[contains(@data-menu,'action_add_property')]" position="attributes">

            <attribute name="groups">base.group_system</attribute>

        </xpath>

    </field>

</record>

Hope it helps.

import { patch } from "@web/core/utils/patch";

import { FormController } from "@web/views/form/form_controller";

patch(FormController.prototype, {

    async getStaticActionMenuItems() {

        const items = await super.getStaticActionMenuItems();

        if (items?.addPropertyFieldValue) {

            console.log("Removing 'Add Properties'");

            delete items.addPropertyFieldValue;

        }    return items;

    },

});

This custom module js patch worked for Odoo17 to hide add properties action menu

In Odoo 17, the "Add Properties" option usually appears when developer mode is enabled. It allows users to attach technical fields (like x_studio fields or properties) directly to records. If you want to hide or disable this option, here are a few things you can do:

✅ Solution:

1. Turn Off Developer Mode:
   • The "Add Properties" option only shows when developer mode is on.
   • If you're a regular user and don’t need it, turning off developer mode will remove the option.
2. Use Web Assets (Custom JS) to Hide It:
   • If you want to hide it for all users or even in dev mode, you can use JavaScript.
   • Add this code in your custom module:
3. Limit Access with User Groups (Advanced):
4. 1. If your users have technical access, consider creating a user group without access to developer features.

Hii,

Modify the View XML Based on User Groups

The most effective and cleanest solution is to control the visibility of the "Add Properties" action using the XML view and the groups attribute. This will ensure that the action is visible only to specific user groups (like Sales Manager) and hidden for others.

Steps to Modify the View:

1. Identify the View: Find the XML view for the CRM lead/opportunity form (crm.lead.form), where the "Add Properties" button or action is defined.
2. Modify the View:
   • Go to Settings → Technical → User Interface → Views.
   • Search for crm.lead.form.
   • Look for the <button> or <menu> entry related to "Add Properties" or similar.
3. Add the groups Attribute
4. :
5. • Modify the button or menu entry to make it visible only to specific groups (e.g., Sales Manager).

<button name="add_properties" type="object" string="Add Properties" 
        groups="base.group_sale_manager"/>

1. In this example, the button will only be visible to users in the Sales Manager group (base.group_sale_manager).
2. Save and Update the Module:
   • After modifying the view, restart Odoo and update your module to apply the changes.

This approach directly modifies the visibility of the "Add Properties" button in the CRM lead/opportunity form, making it visible only to the selected user group(s).

2. Adjust User Groups and Permissions

You also need to ensure that only the appropriate user groups have access to the relevant permissions. Here’s how:

Steps to Adjust User Groups:

1. Go to Users & Companies:
   • Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Users.
   • Select the user for whom you want to restrict access to the "Add Properties" action.
2. Modify the User’s Groups:
   • Check the User Groups tab for the selected user.
   • Ensure that the user is not part of the Sales Manager group (base.group_sale_manager), unless you want to give them access.
   • You can assign the user to a group like Sales User (base.group_sale_user) if you want to restrict access to certain features.
3. Adjust the Group Permissions:
   • Sales Manager typically has more permissions, including managing properties. If you want to restrict access, ensure the user is assigned to a group with limited permissions, such as Sales User.
   • You can also create custom user groups with specific permissions for greater control.
