Stop Scrolling.
Find Columns Instantly.
The missing search bar for Odoo's Optional Columns dropdown. Filter through dozens of fields in Sales, Inventory, or Accounting views in milliseconds.
The Problem
Complex models like Sales Orders or Products have 50+ optional columns. Finding the one you need requires endless scrolling and scanning through a tiny dropdown list. It's frustrating and slow.
The Solution
This module injects a sticky search bar right at the top of the dropdown. Just open the menu and start typing. The list filters instantly to show exactly what you are looking for.
Key Features
Instant Search
Filter fields by name or label as you type. Results update in real-time with zero lag.
Smart Focus
The search input auto-focuses immediately when you click the dropdown. No extra click requiredâjust type.
Stable UI
The dropdown width locks automatically. The menu won't jump or resize while you are filtering results.
Keyboard Ready
Designed for power users. Works perfectly with standard keyboard navigation and tab flows.
How It Works
Open Menu
Click the standard Optional Columns icon in any list view.
Type
Start typing the field name immediately (e.g., "Salesperson").
Toggle
Hit Enter or click to toggle the field. Done!
Crafted with Passion
"I handle complex Odoo databases daily. I got tired of losing precious seconds scrolling through 50+ columns just to find 'Created By' or 'Salesperson'."
I built this module to solve that tiny, repetitive frustration. It's a small change, but it makes the List View feel significantly faster and more modern. I hope it saves you as much time as it saves me!
