Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about installation, configuration, and using the app. If you don't see your question here, feel free to reach out — we're happy to help!
Do I need advanced technical knowledge to set up this module?
Not at all for the global mode. You can enable manual editing for all forms with a single toggle — no coding required.
However, if you want to activate it only for specific views, you'll need to slightly adjust those actions by adding a simple parameter:
→ x_manual_edit=True in the action's context.
This is a one-time setup and can be done easily through Odoo's interface or via Studio.
Will enabling manual edit mode globally affect all existing forms?
Yes, if you choose the global option. That means every form view will require manual activation for editing. If you only want certain forms to require a manual toggle, you can select the action-specific approach instead.
Can I revert to the default "instant edit" behavior of Odoo 18 later?
Absolutely. Just disable the manual edit mode in the module settings. Once turned off, Odoo 18 returns to its original instant edit behavior without any additional steps.
Are there any conflicts or known compatibility issues with other modules?
In most cases, no. We’ve tested this module with core Odoo features and a variety of popular third-party apps. However, if you’ve heavily customized your forms or have modules that override form views, we recommend running tests in a staging environment first. We also provide exception logging for any unforeseen conflicts.
What about custom forms or heavily customized Odoo environments?
The module is designed with flexibility in mind. It checks each form view systematically to ensure compatibility. For deeply customized forms, you might need minimal adjustments or validations.
Does enabling these manual edit modes affect system performance?
Practically no. The overhead is minimal because the module mainly toggles flags and sets up different input styles. All logic is integrated using standard Odoo architecture without significantly impacting loading times.
Can I switch between "filled" and "underlined" input styles anytime?
Yes. Both styles are completely optional, and you can toggle between them or revert to the default borderless mode with a simple switch in the module settings.
Is this module compatible with the Odoo Knowledge application?
Yes, there is a setting within the module that allows you to enable manual editing for the Knowledge app. By default, this option is disabled. Please note that you should only enable this feature if your system alreadyhas the Knowledge app installed. Otherwise, the system will not function until the Knowledge app is installed.
