Siso Smart Fields
Custom Fields on Any Model — No Code, No Restart
Add Custom Fields to Any Odoo Model Instantly
No Python, no development environment, no server restart required
Siso Smart Fields lets system administrators extend any Odoo model with custom database columns directly from the Settings menu — in seconds. Define the field name, choose the type, and it is immediately available to views, filters, automations, and reports.
Optionally toggle the field onto the model's default form view with one click, and control precisely which tab, which section, and which column the field appears in — without touching XML.
Built primarily for Community Edition users who need the field
customisation capability that Odoo Studio provides on Enterprise — at a fraction
of the cost. On Enterprise, Smart Fields coexists cleanly alongside Studio:
Studio fields use the x_studio_ prefix; Smart Fields uses
x_siso_ — completely separate namespaces, equally usable.
Requires: Siso Smart Hub
(available separately on the Odoo App Store).
Compatible with Odoo 18.0 and 19.0, Community, Enterprise,
and Odoo.sh.
Fields on the Form — Exactly Where You Want Them
Inject fields into any tab, section, or column of any form view
Enable Show on Form and the field appears on the model's default form view automatically. No view inheritance XML to write.
Use the Placement controls to choose which notebook tab, which named section within that tab, and — if the section uses a two-column layout — left or right column. Changes regenerate the injected view instantly.
Add an optional tooltip to any field and a ? icon will appear next to the label, exactly as Odoo does for its own fields.
Ten Field Types
Text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, tags, files — and more
Choose from Text / VARCHAR, Multiline Text, Integer, Float, Boolean, Date, Date & Time, Selection / Dropdown, Tags / Multi-select, and Files / Attachment list.
Type-specific parameters are shown automatically: max length for text, precision
for floats, and an options editor for dropdowns and tags. Options support
plain labels or value,Label pairs and paste-in JSON arrays.
Updating the options list on a saved field syncs the change to the database column immediately — no reinstall needed.
Tags — Multi-select Values
Select multiple values from a predefined list, just like native Odoo tags
The Tags / Multi-select type creates a many2many field backed by a private option model. Options are pre-populated from the Options text and can be extended at any time by editing the field definition.
The field renders with Odoo’s native many2many_tags widget —
chip-style tags with individual remove buttons, exactly as users expect.
New tag values can also be typed directly into the field on any record, without returning to the field definition.
Multiline Text
Capture structured notes, instructions, or descriptions on any record
The Text / Multiline type creates a full textarea on the form, ideal for capturing internal notes, customer-specific instructions, or extended descriptions that don't fit in a single-line varchar.
All text fields support Max Length configuration, and the stored column is immediately queryable in filters, reports, and server actions.
Files — Attach Documents to Any Record
An inline file list with type icons, custom labels, preview, and download
The Files / Attachment list type embeds a file attachment list directly on any form — PDFs, images, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, XML exports — whatever belongs with the record.
Each file shows a file-type icon (400+ formats recognised), a user-defined label, and inline preview and download buttons. The number of rows shown before a “Load more” link is configurable per field.
Files are stored in Odoo’s own private attachment model, separate from the shared chatter attachments.
Adding Files
Clean upload dialog — label and file in one step
Clicking Add a line opens a focused dialog with two fields: a free-text label and a file picker. Name the file meaningfully before saving — the label appears in the list alongside the type icon.
Edit the label or replace a file at any time by clicking the row to reopen the dialog. Existing files are never overwritten unless explicitly replaced.
Safe Deletion & Orphan Adoption
Every destructive operation is explicit — admin-only access throughout
Deleting a field removes the form injection, drops the database column, and cleans up any associated helper models in one confirmed action.
The Adopt Orphaned Fields tool scans for any
x_siso_ columns that exist without a Smart Fields definition
and creates management records for them — useful after migrations.
Typical Use Cases
- ERP sync fields — Visma IDs, SAP references, legacy codes
- Product specs not covered by standard Odoo attributes
- Customer-specific metadata on contacts and sales orders
- Internal ratings, scores, or classification labels
- Document attachments scoped to individual records
- Rapid prototyping before committing to a full module
Easy Installation
Ready in minutes — part of the Siso Smart Suite
Siso Smart Hub is a prerequisite. Install Smart Hub first, then activate Siso Smart Fields from Apps. Custom Fields appears immediately under the Siso Smart Suite menu in Settings. Smart Hub is the foundation of the suite — all Siso addons depend on it.
No external libraries, no additional server configuration.
All storage uses standard Odoo mechanisms —
ir.model.fields, ir.ui.view, and the Odoo filestore.
