Selection Key Visibility
Hide or show selection options per field instance
The Problem
In Odoo, the same selection field can appear multiple times in the same view with different visibility requirements. For example, you may want to show different options to different user groups, or hide certain values in specific contexts.
Python-level solutions like fields_get() overrides or selection_add
affect the field globally across ALL views and contexts.
The Solution
Simple XML-level filtering with two modes:
Blacklist Mode
Hide specific selection keys from the dropdown
<field name="type"
widget="selection_key_visibility"
options="{'hide_selection_keys': ['contact']}"/>
Whitelist Mode
Show only the specified keys
<field name="type"
widget="selection_key_visibility"
options="{'show_selection_keys': ['invoice']}"/>
Three Widgets Included
selection_key_visibility
Dropdown selection with filtering
radio_key_visibility
Radio buttons with filtering
statusbar_key_visibility
Status bar with filtering
Real-World Example
In the res.partner form, hide the "Contact" type option in child contacts while showing all options in the main form:
<field name="type"
widget="radio_key_visibility"
options="{'hide_selection_keys': ['contact'], 'horizontal': True}"/>
Key Features
- UI-only filtering - Backend data integrity preserved
- Per-field-instance - Different filtering per field occurrence
- Current value preserved - Always visible even if hidden
- No Python needed - Pure JavaScript solution
- Combine with other options - Works alongside existing field options
- Fully tested - Comprehensive QUnit test suite included
