Soft Validation Before Save
Configurable Non-Blocking "Are You Sure?" Confirmations Before Form Save in Odoo 19
Prevent accidental typos, abnormally high invoice amounts, or inconsistent data inputs. Triggers a soft confirmation dialog allowing users to double-check or proceed without blocking the save workflow.
How Soft Validation Works
- Form Intercept: Intercepts the Save action on form views before data is permanently written to the database.
- Active Rule Evaluation: Sends current form values to the server to check against UI-configured rules for that model.
- Soft Confirmation Dialog: If an anomaly is detected, a confirmation popup appears with your custom title and message asking: "Are you sure?"
- Human Choice: The user can click Confirm to finish saving, or Cancel to adjust the form inputs.
- Fail-Safe Guarantee: If a rule cannot be evaluated due to technical errors or domain misconfigurations, it skips silently to ensure legitimate saves are never blocked.
Condition 1
Amount Threshold Rules
Select any numeric field (Integer, Float, Monetary), a comparison operator (>, >=, <, <=, =, !=), and a limit.
Example: Trigger confirmation if Total Amount > $10,000.
Condition 2
Discrepancy Domain Rules
Define custom Odoo domains to check form conditions that simple thresholds cannot cover.
Example: [('partner_id', '=', False)] or custom selection field states.
Supported Field Types for Validation
Note: Relational fields (Many2one, One2many, Many2many) are intentionally excluded from form payload evaluation to optimize performance. Keep domain rules targeted on the supported scalar field types listed above.
Confirmation Dialog Example
------------------------------------------------------------------ High Order Amount Warning ------------------------------------------------------------------ The total amount ($15,500.00) exceeds the configured threshold of $10,000.00. Are you sure you want to save this record? [ Cancel ] [ Confirm Save ] ------------------------------------------------------------------
