ODH Disable Create/Edit Option
In Odoo, relational fields like Many2one and Many2many allow users to create and edit records directly from dropdown menus. While convenient, this can lead to uncontrolled data entry and bypass proper workflows in many business environments. To solve this, we developed this module that lets you restrict the Create and Create & Edit options in relational fields using a dedicated security group. Simply assign users to the Disable Create/Edit in Many2one group and their ability to create or edit records directly from dropdowns will be automatically disabled. Key Features

Configuration
Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Groups and add the users you want to restrict to the "Disable Create/Edit in Many2one" group.
Users IN the "Disable Create/Edit in Many2one" group will NOT see "Create" or "Create & Edit" options in Many2one fields.
Users NOT in the group retain the standard Odoo behavior — all "Create" and "Create & Edit" options remain fully available.
Many2many tag fields are also restricted for group users — the tag creation option is hidden automatically.
The restriction applies consistently in both Form views and Kanban views for all restricted users.
