V16 - Empty field when turns invisible

Question

Hi,

when I set a field with a value, depending on an x condition, my field becomes invisible. I'd like to know if there's an “ODOO” method for clearing this field when it becomes invisible. Because this leads to functional problems where unwanted information ends up being taken into account?

thanks

Hi Loïc
you can add an @api.onchange or @api.depends on you method, that handle if the field is visible and unset the value if the condition are not met
example
field_is_visible = fields.Boolean()
my_field = fields.Text()
@api.depends('field_x1','field_x1' )
def _check_visibility(self):
for rec in self:
​ 	 ​if #your condition:
​ 	 ​ 	 ​rec.field_is_visible = true
​ 	 ​else:
​ 	 ​ 	 ​rec.field_is_visible = False
​ 	 ​ 	 rec.my_field = False # or '' depending on your fields type​

Hi Jainil,

Hello Loic,
you have one field which is having some condition on which the field is being invisible, so on that condition you need to have an function which will make the field empty which will make the non needed value stored in the field thus you want to empty it.
do i convey your need properly respond me so i can take you further with the solution.
Thanks
