View & Field Builder
Add custom fields to any model and inject them into views with a simple wizard. No XML. No Python. No Odoo Studio license required.
Why This Module?
Every Odoo implementation requires custom fields. But creating them traditionally means writing XML, Python code, and deploying custom modules—a time-consuming process that requires developer involvement.
View & Field Builder eliminates that complexity. With a simple wizard interface, you can create any field type (char, integer, float, boolean, date, datetime, selection, many2one, one2many, many2many, binary, html, text) on any model and instantly inject it into form, list, kanban, graph, or pivot views. Preview XML before applying. Revert changes anytime. All without writing a single line of code.

1. VFB Access from Systray Menu
The VFB button appears in the top-right systray menu when debug mode is active, providing quick access to all field builder tools.
2. Add New Custom Field Wizard
Step-by-step wizard to create new custom fields. Auto-detects current model and view, supports all field types with type-specific options and conditional visibility rules.
3. All Field Types Supported
Choose from 15+ field types including Text, Integer, Float, Monetary, Boolean, Date, DateTime, Selection, Many2one, One2many, Many2many, Binary, HTML, and Image.
4. Conditional Visibility & Read-Only Rules
Set Python expressions for invisible, required, and read-only conditions directly from the wizard. Fields will dynamically appear or behave based on record values.
5. Add Existing Field to View
Quickly add existing fields from the model into form, list, graph, or pivot views. Configure widget type, custom label, position, and conditional rules.
6. Precise Positioning
Place fields exactly where you want them—inside, after, or before specific fields. Perfect for organizing form layouts precisely.
7. Field Successfully Added to View
Custom fields appear instantly in the target view and work seamlessly with Odoo's standard behavior.
8. Revert Changes Anytime
All field injections are tracked in the Field Builder Log. Revert any field anytime with a single click—removes the inherited view injection completely.
9. Field Builder Log & Audit Trail
Every field creation and view injection is logged with metadata including who applied it, when it was applied, and the generated XML. Update or revert from the same interface.
10. Update Applied Fields
Already applied a field but need to change a property? Use Save & Update to rebuild the view injection with new settings—field technical name remains locked after apply for data integrity.
11. Access from General Settings
VFB menu appears under Technical section in Settings, providing access to all field builder tools and the Field Builder Log.
⚡ Zero Coding
Create and inject fields without writing XML or Python. Perfect for rapid prototyping and functional consultants.
📊 15+ Field Types
Support for all standard Odoo field types including relational fields, computed fields, and file fields.
🎯 Precise Placement
Position fields exactly where you want them using anchor fields and before/after positioning.
🔍 View Inspector
Inspect any view to see all fields, buttons, groups, and pages with their technical details.
✅ Safe & Reversible
All changes use Odoo's inheritance system. Revert any field injection instantly from the log.
