I would like to understand why this doesn't qualify as a bug. To me it's at least a severe limitation. As far as I know, it's just impossible to open a new tab in the GTK client which would be in "form" mode and which would be on a specific record ID using act_window.
The only workaround I've found is for the web client, and is quite ugly: http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21250&view=previous -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP Indian Team, which is subscribed to OpenERP Server. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628767 Title: Opening form view from act_window broken Status in OpenERP Server: Invalid Bug description: With the XML below, I get a list view containing a single opportunity when I click on the 'Opportunity' button. If I click on the 'Form' button in the GTK client, then I get the form view for that single opportunity. All is well. If, however, I change the sequence fields so that the form view comes before the list view and then click the 'Opportunity' button, I get an empty Opportunity form. If I click on the List button in the GTK client, I get the correct list, as above. I can then click the Form button, as above, and get to the expected form view. I would expect to be able to load the form view straight off, without the indirection via the list view. <?xml version="1.0"?> <openerp> <data> <act_window id="action_opportunities_from_quotes" name="Opportunity" res_model="crm.lead" src_model="sale.order" view_mode="form" domain="[('id','=', opportunity_id)]" view_type="form" /> <record id="action_opportunities_from_quotes_view1" model="ir.actions.act_window.view"> <field name="act_window_id" ref="action_opportunities_from_quotes" /> <field eval="0" name="multi" /> <field eval=""""form"""" name="view_mode" /> <field name="view_id" ref="crm.crm_case_form_view_oppor" /> <field eval="1" name="sequence" /> </record> <record id="action_opportunities_from_quotes_view2" model="ir.actions.act_window.view"> <field name="act_window_id" ref="action_opportunities_from_quotes" /> <field eval="0" name="multi" /> <field eval=""""tree"""" name="view_mode" /> <field name="view_id" ref="crm.crm_case_tree_view_oppor" /> <field eval="0" name="sequence" /> </record> </data> </openerp> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/628767/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-india Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-india More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
