Hide Create Option - Restrict Quick Create Everywhere
Remove "Create", "Create and Edit" and "New" from all many2one dropdowns system-wide
The Problem
In standard Odoo, every many2one dropdown field shows "Create" and "Create and Edit..." options. This means any employee can create new Customers, Products, Accounts, Employees, and any other record directly from a dropdown — bypassing all your approval workflows, required fields, and data validations.
Example: A sales person typing in the Customer field can accidentally create a duplicate customer with incomplete data — no Tax ID, no address, no payment terms. This creates data quality problems that are hard to fix later.
The Solution
This module completely removes all quick-create options from every many2one field in the entire system. Users can only select existing records. To create new records, they must go through the proper form view with all required fields and validations.
Key Features
| ✔ Remove "Create" Quick Create — The "Create 'xxx'" option that appears when typing is completely removed from all many2one dropdowns |
| ✔ Remove "Create and Edit..." — The popup form creation option is removed from all many2one dropdowns |
| ✔ Remove "New" from Search More — The "New" button in the "Search More..." dialog is hidden |
| ✔ Works Everywhere — Sales, Purchase, Accounting, Inventory, Manufacturing, HR, and every other module |
| ✔ Zero Configuration — Just install and it works immediately. No settings to configure |
| ✔ No Server Overhead — Pure JavaScript + CSS. No Python code, no extra database queries, no performance impact |
How It Works
| Step 1: Install the module from Apps menu |
| Step 2: Refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) |
| Step 3: Done! All "Create" options are now hidden from every many2one dropdown |
