Edit saved filters safely in place

Let any business user open a saved search Favorite and change what it matches — with a human-readable condition editor, a live record count, before/after comparison, and one-click revert. No developer mode, ever.

The problem

In standard Odoo, a saved Favorite is effectively read-only. Changing what it matches means deleting it and rebuilding from scratch, or diving into developer mode to edit raw domain syntax — options unavailable to the sales reps, accountants, and clerks who rely on favorites every day. Saved filters quietly rot instead of evolving with the business.

The solution

Edit Favorite Filter adds a safe, human-readable editor reachable straight from the Favorites menu. Users see plain-language conditions instead of domain expressions, a live matching-record count before they save, and a one-click revert if something looks wrong — so editing a favorite is finally as easy as creating one.

Capabilities

Everything you need to manage favorites

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Edit in place, no debug mode

Open any saved Favorite from the Favorites menu and change its search criteria directly — no developer mode, no technical access required.

02

Human-readable conditions

Filter logic is shown as plain-language conditions instead of raw domain syntax, so any business user can understand and safely change what a favorite matches.

03

Live record count preview

See exactly how many records the edited filter will match before you save, so you never commit a change blind.

04

Before/after comparison

Compare the previous and edited conditions side by side, with their record counts, before confirming a change.

05

One-click revert

Undo an in-progress edit instantly and return to the filter's last saved state.

06

Save as new or overwrite

Keep the original favorite untouched by saving as a new filter, or update it in place — with a confirmation before overwriting an existing favorite.

07

Clone and bulk edit

Duplicate a working filter as a starting point, or apply a share, privacy, prefix, default, or archive change to several favorites at once.

08

Export and import filters

Move favorites between users or environments with JSON export and import, without rebuilding them by hand.

09

Full change-history audit log

Every edit, rename, clone, bulk change, revert, and import is logged with who made it and when, in a dedicated audit trail.

Workflow

How it works

1

Hover a favorite

Open the Favorites menu on any list or kanban view and hover a saved filter to reveal the edit pencil.

2

Edit safely

The safe editor opens with plain-language conditions, the current record count, and a domain widget for fine control.

3

Preview and compare

Check the live matching-record count and the before/after comparison before committing your change.

4

Save, revert, or manage

Save in place or as new, revert if needed, and manage every favorite's history, clones, and bulk changes from the Manage Filters list.
