Product and Description in one column

Since most users do not manually fill in the Description field for products, many prefer to remove this column altogether to save space on the form Sale Order. However, in Odoo 17, hiding the Description column also causes important text in special line types, such as Section and Note, to disappear. This unintended consequence reduces clarity and usability in Sale Orders.

To solve this problem, I implemented the same solution used in Odoo 18: merging the Description content into the same column as the Product field. This approach provides several benefits:

  1. Saves screen space
    by eliminating an unnecessary column.
  2. Ensures visibility
    of important text for Section and Note lines, even when the Description column is hidden.
  3. Maintains usability
    by keeping critical information accessible without unnecessary clutter.

By making this module, the Sale Order form in Odoo 17 is more efficient and user-friendly while allowing users to remove the Description column without losing important information.
