Why this module?

Odoo views are normally defined in XML and remain static. This module allows you to modify views at runtime by simply appending query parameters to the URL. You can add extra fields, highlight important fields, change the default record ordering, and apply row decorations without modifying the original view.

Supported query parameters

• add_fields — Comma-separated field names to add to list and form views.
  Example: ?add_fields=phone,mobile
• highlight_fields — Comma-separated field names to highlight in list and form views.
  Example: ?highlight_fields=email,phone
• order_by — Override the default ordering of list and kanban views.
  Example: ?order_by=create_date desc
• decoration_* — Apply conditional row decorations in list views. Supports 5 decorations: decoration_info, decoration_muted, decoration_success, decoration_warning, and decoration_danger.
  Example: ?decoration_success=state=='done'

Key capabilities

• Add extra fields to list and form views using add_fields.
• Highlight existing fields using highlight_fields.
• Override the default sorting of list and kanban views using order_by.
• Apply conditional row decorations in list views using decoration_*.
• Validates referenced fields against the current model; unknown fields are skipped safely.
• Added list columns use optional="show" so they behave like standard optional columns.
• No effect unless the corresponding URL parameters are provided.

How to use

1. Install the module.
2. Open any backend action.
3. Append one or more supported query parameters before the hash fragment.
4. Example: /odoo?add_fields=phone,mobile&highlight_fields=email&order_by=create_date desc

Example use cases

• Display additional columns for a specific dashboard or embedded iframe.
• Highlight important business fields during demonstrations or troubleshooting.
• Share bookmarkable URLs with custom sorting for different business workflows.
• Temporarily expose audit or technical fields without changing the original XML view.
• Visually emphasize records that meet business conditions using list row decorations.
