Dynamic Field Tracker

The Dynamic Field Tracker module enables administrators to track changes made to selected fields across any Odoo model. Whenever a tracked field is updated, the system automatically records the previous and new values in the chatter, providing a complete audit trail for important business data.

This feature helps organizations monitor critical information changes, improve transparency, and maintain accountability across business operations.

Why Use Dynamic Field Tracker?

• Automatically logs field changes.
• Provides complete change history in chatter.
• Improves auditability and accountability.
• Supports multiple field types.
• No technical customization required.
• Works dynamically on selected models.

Configuration

Navigate to:

Select Model and Fields

Administrators can configure tracking for any model available in Odoo. After selecting the model, choose one or more fields that should be tracked.

• Select the target model.
• Choose fields to track.
• Save the configuration.
• Tracking becomes active immediately.

Example

In the Product model example:

• Name field is tracked.
• Tags field is tracked.
• Any change is logged in the chatter automatically.

When a user changes:

• Product Name
• Tags
• Sales Price
• Other configured fields

The system records both old and new values, providing a clear history of modifications.

Validation Logic

The module validates tracking configurations before activation.

• Duplicate field configurations are prevented.
• Only valid model fields can be selected.
• Removed fields are automatically excluded from tracking.
• Changes are recorded only when values actually differ.

Benefits

• Complete audit trail.
• Improved data visibility.
• Reduced manual monitoring effort.
• Better compliance and governance.
• Enhanced accountability.
• Easy configuration without development.

Best Practices

• Track only important business fields.
• Avoid excessive tracking of frequently changing data.
• Review configurations periodically.
• Use tracking for critical operational records.
• Combine with chatter notifications for better visibility.
