Field Technical Name Overlay (Dev Mode Badge)

Field Technical Name Overlay (Dev Mode Badge)

See every field technical name inline, instantly, developer mode only

Starts at 9.99 USD

When your developer or admin needs a field's technical name mid-task, they currently open Inspect Element, navigate to Settings > Technical > Fields, or switch to a second tab. Each lookup costs two to five minutes. Across a week of Odoo configuration work, that time compounds quickly.

This add-on puts a small, unobtrusive badge directly beside each field label on every form view. When developer mode is on, your team sees the exact technical name — partner_id, x_studio_ref, whatever it is — the moment their eyes land on the field. When developer mode is off, your end users see nothing different. The badge does not appear in print views or portal pages.

There is no configuration. No per-module activation. Enable developer mode and every standard and custom field on every form in your Odoo instance shows its technical name inline. That includes modules you built yourself.

Your developer stops leaving the record to confirm a name before writing a domain filter. Your admin stops guessing snake_case spelling when setting up automated actions. Your integrator maps Odoo fields to an external API endpoint without running a separate lookup session.

One install covers Odoo 16, 17, 18, and 19. If you ever upgrade versions, you are already covered.
