Hello,

I am working with Odoo 17 Community and I want to change the text that appears in the browser tab title.

Right now, the browser tab shows:

Odoo – Students
Odoo – New

I want to replace “Odoo” with my own project name (example: MySchool ERP).

I examined the backend template files and found that in web.layout, the <title> tag is defined as:

<title t-esc="title or 'Odoo'"/>

This seems to be the source of the browser title.

I tried creating a custom module and overriding this with:

<template id="custom_web_title" inherit_id="web.layout">
    <xpath expr="//title" position="replace">
        <title>MySchool ERP</title>
    </xpath>
</template>

I added it in my __manifest__.py, restarted the server, upgraded the module, and hard-refreshed the browser, but the browser tab still shows “Odoo – …”.

It looks like the backend client (webclient) may dynamically override the title again after loading.

My questions:

1. What is the correct way to override the browser tab title in Odoo 17 Community?

2. Is overriding web.layout enough, or do I also need to override a part of the webclient that sets the dynamic title?

3. Is there an official or recommended method to remove/replace the “Odoo” prefix in the backend tab title?

Any guidance or working example for Odoo 17 Community will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
