Change field choices safely — no code, no database

Add, rename, reorder and remove the choices behind selection and tag (Many2many) fields from a guided screen — with a live preview, one-click rollback and a full audit trail.

The problem

Selection dropdowns and tag-style fields are full of hardcoded choices. Adding a lead source, retiring a stale status, or reordering a priority list means editing code or the database directly — work a non-technical admin cannot do safely, so every small change becomes a support ticket and a wait.

The solution

Field Selection Configuration puts the choices behind selection and Many2many fields in the admin's hands. Add, rename, reorder and remove options from a guided screen, preview the exact result before committing, and roll back instantly if something looks wrong — with every change recorded in an audit trail.

Capabilities

Everything a non-technical admin needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Add, Rename & Reorder Choices

Manual (custom) selection fields are fully editable from the UI, with drag-and-drop sequencing for the order options appear in.

02

Safe Edits for Standard Fields

Odoo's built-in selection fields can be renamed and reordered; a guided message explains Odoo's core add/remove restriction instead of an opaque error.

03

Many2many Tag Management

Manage the records behind tag-style (Many2many) fields directly from the same screen, without opening a separate menu.

04

Live Visual Preview

See the exact dropdown or tag list before you apply anything, rendered live on the configuration form.

05

One-Click Rollback

Every apply takes an automatic snapshot of the prior state; restore any earlier configuration in a single click.

06

Complete Audit Trail

An append-only log records who changed which option and when, kept alongside every configuration for accountability.

07

In-Use Protection

Removing a choice already used on live records is blocked by default, with an explicit override for the rare case it's actually intended.

08

Reusable Templates

Export a finished configuration as a template, then reuse it on another field or import it into another install.

09

Guided Wizards

A step-by-step "New Configuration" wizard and an import wizard (from template, pasted JSON, or file) walk non-technical admins through setup.

Track & Reuse

Review the audit log any time, roll back if needed, or save the setup as a template.

Questions

Frequently asked

No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.

No — Odoo core blocks adding or removing options on standard fields for data-integrity reasons. You can still rename and reorder existing options; for full add/remove control, use the app on a manual (custom) selection field instead. A guided message explains this whenever it applies.
