Studio Lite
Customize Odoo without writing a single line of code — Community Edition
A lightweight, open-to-all alternative to Odoo Studio. Add fields, adjust views, hide columns, and export clean deployable modules — all from a friendly UI inside your Odoo backend.
Overview
Studio Lite gives Odoo Community Edition users the power to customise their instance at runtime — without developer access, without touching code, and without upgrading to Odoo Enterprise.
Every change is recorded in a customisation log with a one-click revert, so nothing is ever irreversible. When you are ready to move to production, hit Export as Module and download a clean, version-controlled ZIP that can be deployed on any Odoo 19 server.
Key Features
📝 Create Custom Fields
Add new fields (text, integer, float, date, datetime, boolean, selection, Many2one, many relational types, …) to any installed model at runtime — schema changes are applied automatically.
👁 Hide / Show Fields
Toggle visibility of standard or custom fields on form and list views. Declutter busy forms without losing underlying data.
📌 Insert Fields into Views
Place any existing field precisely — before or after another field, in a new group, or on a brand-new notebook page — with a simple wizard.
⚙️ Change Field Properties
Override any field's label, required flag, readonly state, widget, and placeholder on a per-view basis, without altering the underlying model.
📋 Customization Log & Revert
Every change is stored in a structured log. Revert any single customisation in one click — safely and surgically, without affecting other changes.
📦 Export as Module
Package all active customisations into a downloadable ZIP module. Deploy the same changes on staging, production, or another customer — via standard Odoo module installation.
🔍 Model Explorer
Browse every installed model in a searchable list and jump straight into the customisation wizards from a single panel.
How It Works
- Install Studio Lite from the App Store.
- Navigate to Settings → Studio Lite → Model Explorer to find the model you want to customise.
- Use the wizard buttons to create fields, hide fields, insert fields, or change properties.
- Review all changes in the Customization Log — or revert any step instantly.
- When satisfied, click Export as Module to download a deployable ZIP.

FAQ
Will my customisations survive an Odoo upgrade?
Because Studio Lite stores customisations as standard Odoo view inherits and field
definitions, they behave exactly like any other custom module. The exported ZIP can
be tested and re-installed after an upgrade as part of your normal migration process.
Can I use the exported module on a different server?
Absolutely. The exported ZIP is a standard Odoo addon — copy it to any server's
custom addons path and install it like any other module.
Is non-technical staff able to use it?
Yes. The wizards use plain language and dropdown menus. No Python or XML knowledge
is required to create fields, hide columns, or adjust labels.
Does it conflict with Odoo Studio (Enterprise)?
No. Studio Lite and Odoo Studio work independently. If you later upgrade to Enterprise,
your Studio Lite customisations will continue to work alongside Odoo Studio.
