Mutex Toggle Field

Mutually Exclusive Toggle Widget for Odoo List Views


Technical Widget Module

Ylhc Mutex Toggle Field provides a mutually exclusive toggle widget for boolean fields in Odoo list views. When enabled on a record, it automatically disables the toggle on all other records in the list, ensuring only one item can be active at a time. Perfect for selecting a default item, primary record, or exclusive option!

How It Works:
This widget extends Odoo's standard boolean toggle field with mutex (mutually exclusive) functionality. When you toggle a field ON in one record, the widget automatically sets the same field to OFF in all other records. This ensures only one record can have the toggle enabled at any given time - perfect for scenarios like "set as default", "is primary", "featured item", or "active selection".

  2. Search for "Mutex Toggle Field"
  3. Click Install button
  4. Wait for installation to complete
Basic Usage

<field name="is_default" widget="mutex_toggle"/>
Complete Example

Here's a complete example showing how to use the mutex toggle widget in a list view:

<odoo>
    <record id="view_partner_bank_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">partner.bank.tree</field>
        <field name="model">res.partner.bank</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <tree>
                <field name="acc_number"/>
                <field name="bank_name"/>
                <field name="is_default" widget="mutex_toggle"/>
            </tree>
        </field>
    </record>
</odoo>
Common Use Cases
  • Default Selection: Mark one item as the default (e.g., default bank account, default address)
  • Primary Record: Designate a primary contact, primary phone number, etc.
  • Featured Item: Highlight one featured product, article, or image
  • Active Selection: Set one active configuration from multiple options
  • Preferred Option: Choose preferred shipping method, payment method, etc.
Important Notes:
  • The widget only works in list/tree views
  • All records must be loaded in the current list view for proper mutex behavior
  • The widget patches Odoo's boolean toggle to prevent auto-save
  • Works with standard Odoo boolean fields - no model modifications required
