Every field change, finally accountable

Turn Odoo's narrative chatter into a queryable, exportable audit trail - who changed what, when, and from what value to what value - across any model or field, with no code required.

The problem

Odoo's native change tracking only logs fields a developer has explicitly flagged, and only as a narrative chatter feed with no filters, no report, and no export. When a price shifts, a delivery date slips, or a credit limit changes, compliance and audit teams cannot answer “who did this and when” without a developer ticket - and even then the answer is buried in scrolling text.

The solution

Track Fields in Chatter turns that gap into a configurable, queryable audit layer. Admins pick any model and any field - custom or inherited - from a guided wizard, and every matching change is captured with a human-readable before and after value. The result lives in a dedicated report filterable by field, user, or date, and exportable to CSV or Excel on demand.

Capabilities

Everything you need for a defensible audit trail

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Queryable Change History

Every tracked change lands in a dedicated, filterable report instead of a scrolling chatter feed, so you can answer “every price change in Q3” in seconds.

02

Global Tracking, With Exceptions

Track every field on a model in one toggle, track only the fields you choose, or track everything except a short exclusion list - one screen, three strategies.

03

Guided Setup Wizard

Pick a model and fields from a validated wizard that warns you upfront - no chatter on this model, or high change volume ahead - instead of failing silently later.

04

Human-Readable Values

Relations show as names, selections show as labels, dates and booleans render in plain language - every old and new value is something an auditor can actually read.

05

Safe Relational Line Tracking

Track One2many and Many2many changes explicitly, with an optional Light Mode that logs a count summary instead of every line name to protect performance.

06

Active-Tracking Dashboard

A kanban view of every tracking rule shows scope, tracked fields, and change volume at a glance, so admins can audit their own audit configuration.

07

Restricted History Access

Gate sensitive change logs - salary, pricing, credit limits - to a chosen security group per rule, so history stays visible only to the people who should see it.

08

Import-Aware Logging

Bulk edits made through file import are tracked and attributed just like manual edits, so mass updates never become a blind spot in your audit trail.

09

Reason Capture & Chatter Alerts

Require a change reason on sensitive fields, and optionally post a chatter note to followers the moment a tracked field changes, so nothing important goes unnoticed.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open the Setup Wizard

Pick the model you want audited and let the wizard flag missing chatter support or high-volume relational fields before you save.

2

Choose Your Tracking Scope

Track all fields, only the ones you select, or all except a short exclusion list - plus toggle create, delete, and reason capture.

3

Odoo Tracks Automatically

From that point on, every matching write is captured in the background with the human-readable before and after value - no further action needed.

4

Query, Filter, Export

Search the Change History report by field, user, date, or model, then export the filtered results to CSV or Excel for your auditors.

No - it extends it. Native tracking only logs fields a developer explicitly flagged; this app lets any admin track any stored field, on any model, custom or inherited, from the UI.
