Pick the perfect icon, visually for any field in Odoo
A searchable Font Awesome 6 icon picker for any Character field — browse by category, search live, preview instantly, and confirm your choice without typing a single class name.
The problem
Icon fields are plain text. Configuring one means already knowing the exact Font Awesome class string, typing it with no autocomplete and no visual confirmation, and hoping there is no typo. Most bundled libraries still ship Font Awesome 4 — obsolete, missing modern style variants, and thousands of glyphs behind. The result is broken icons, copy-pasted cheat sheets, and a configuration experience that feels unfinished.
The solution
This widget ships a fully namespaced Font Awesome 6.5.2 Free library and a click-to-open visual picker for any Character field. Browse by category, search by name, preview instantly, and confirm the selection on screen — no class strings, no guessing, and legacy Font Awesome 4 values already stored in your database still render correctly.
Everything you need to pick icons visually
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Modern Font Awesome 6 Library
Ships Font Awesome 6.5.2 Free — solid, regular, and brand styles — fully namespaced so Odoo's own backend icons are never disturbed.
Click-to-Open Visual Picker
Open a searchable picker dialog directly from the field instead of typing a raw class string from memory.
Browse-First Category Navigation
Explore the full icon catalog by category with no need to already know an icon's name.
Live Search & Filtering
Type-ahead search across icon names and keywords finds the right glyph in seconds.
Real-Time Preview
See the selected icon update instantly as you search, filter, or browse — no save-and-check loop.
Keyboard Navigation
Arrow keys and Enter move through results and confirm a selection without leaving the keyboard.
Icon Collections
Curate and organize favorite icons into named collections that stay reusable across records.
Opt-In Bulk Field Conversion
Attach the picker to many existing Character fields at once through a bulk wizard — per field, never applied globally.
Legacy Font Awesome 4 Compatibility
Recognizes legacy icon values already stored in the database and offers the matching Font Awesome 6 equivalent automatically.
How it works
Assign Access
Internal users get picker access automatically; managers can configure bulk rules and settings.
Attach the Widget

Browse & Search
Open the picker, browse by category or search by name, and preview the icon in real time.

Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
No. The bundled Font Awesome 6 library is fully namespaced with fa6- prefixed classes, so it never overrides or conflicts with Odoo's built-in Font Awesome 4 icons or backend styling.
