Web: Disable Auto Edit

Open form views in read-only by default; require explicit Edit to modify.

Odoo 18/19 Community & Enterprise Web / Client-side LGPL-3

What it does

  • Existing records open in read-only (no auto-edit on open).
  • Users click Edit to switch to edit mode.
  • Create flows remain unchanged (new records open in edit mode).
  • Lightweight UX tweak; no server-side overrides.

Safety & permissions

This module changes only the initial UI mode and fully respects Odoo security:

  • Access rights (ir.model.access) and Record Rules.
  • Field groups, readonly/invisible modifiers, and attrs.
  • Server-side ORM constraints and validations.
  • No change to business logic or data integrity.

Coverage across common form contexts

  • Standard form views opened from tree/kanban/calendar/etc.
  • Popup form dialogs (target="new"), wizards.
  • many2one “Create and Edit…” dialogs & one2many form popups.
  • Deep links and breadcrumbs from any application (CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting…).
  • Responsive/mobile layouts.

Known interactions
