Handling Customizations with Odoo Studio
A frequent topic is how to handle customizations made with Odoo Studio, especially during upgrades. Here are some key points:
- Upgrade Coverage: Customizations made through Odoo Studio are covered under our upgrade service, provided Studio is still installed and your subscription is active.
- Dealing with Disabled Views: If custom views are disabled post-upgrade, it often indicates changes in the underlying views that your customization depended on. Contact Odoo support with detailed information to resolve these issues.
Example: Dynamic Links in General Ledger Reports
A user recently asked about adding dynamic links in the General Ledger report. Here’s how you can tackle this:
- Locate and Modify the Report View: Find the specific report view you need to adjust. This may involve diving into the code to understand the current setup.
- Add Fields or Links: Integrate the necessary fields or dynamic links, which may require custom development to ensure they function correctly.
- Test Thoroughly: Always test your modifications in a staging environment to avoid disrupting your live setup.
