Hello everyone,

Another newbie question related to Odoo v12.

I need to get the current fields values while creating a new record (create method).

Since I am having some problems doing it and could not find any solution, I am trying to use a global variable for this. The global variable (var_field_value) is set on the top of the module.py outside all classes.

I have tried to use "self.field_name" on create method and it is not working. For instance:

var_field_value = 0

class test (models.Model):
    field_name = fields.Integer('Field Value')

On the form view for the class, I enter any integer value to the field_name field.

If I print the field value on the on_change method, I can see the value is there and I can set this value to my global variable:

@api.onchange('field_name')
def onchange_field_name(self):
        print(self.field_name)
        var_field_value = self.field_name
        print(var_field_value)

Until this point, everything runs fine.

Now, on Create method, if I print both "self.field_name" and "var_field_value", the values are 0 for both.

@api.model
def create(self, vals):
    print(var_field_value)
    print(self.field_name)
    ...

So, I can see the variable and field values on on_change event, but I cannot see them on create method.

How can I get the current field values on create method?

Thank you in advance
