ODOO'S FUNCTION

In the Appraisals app, several fields (e.g., Manager and Appraisal Template ) have onchange methods that reapply defaults from the selected template and recompute the appraisal Content . By default, Odoo does not provide a mechanism to prevent these onchange refreshes from overwriting user edits once you’ve started customizing an appraisal.

This leads to the following issues:

  • Edits to Content are lost after manager change
    When a user updates the Content and then assigns/changes the Manager , the onchange on the manager reloads values from the current template and resets the Content back to its original (pre‑edit) state.
  • Template can revert after later field changes
    If a user changes the Appraisal Template , saves, then switches to a different template and later adds/changes the Manager , the onchange chain may reapply the previously cached/defaulted template and revert the appraisal to the previous template configuration .

CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION

CLuedoo introduces Stop Onchange on Appraisals to prevent unwanted overwrites caused by standard onchange logic once users begin editing or once a record is established.

This enhancement provides:

1️⃣ Protect user‑edited content
After content has been manually modified (or after the record is saved), manager changes no longer reset the Content . onchange routines are suppressed or made read‑only for fields whose refresh would overwrite user work.
2️⃣ Stabilize the selected template
The module prevents reversion to a previous template when the Manager (or other triggering fields) changes. The currently chosen template remains authoritative unless the user explicitly decides to reload from a template.

By providing a robust safeguard against destructive onchanges , Cluedoo ensures data integrity, user trust, and process stability in the Appraisals flow (v18), reducing rework and eliminating accidental content/template reversion.

1. Go to Appraisals > select an existing Appraisal or create a new one


2. Update the appraisal content > Add or change the Managers / Appraisers > The content no longer resets.


3. Change the Appraisal Template > Save it.

Switch to another template > Add or change the managers/appraisers > No reversion to the previous template.
