I couldn’t find any documentation of the optional parameters that are available to all field types in OpenERP models, so I added what I knew to the fields documentation page.
There are a bunch of parameters that I don’t understand, so I’d appreciate help fleshing out the documentation. You can post answers here, and I’ll update the docs, or you can edit the docs yourself. Either one is appreciated.
The specific fields I had questions on are:
- change_default
- context
- priority
- select
The states parameter could also use more details.
Are you sure that they are still in use this fields ? because i just did a find /openerp | grep “field” and i didn’t find much code that use them ? and because in my experience with openerp the core code is such a mess it’s not the first time that i found such a thing (unused code, unused function …)
but here is what i find until know maybe it can help you :
change_default: in documentation that
you linked change_default is like
on_change but are you sure, because
change_default can be set to (True or
False ) rather on_change is a string
where you specify a function that get
launched when the value is changed in
the view but here is the only thing i
found in the code is this :
#one2many can’t be used as condition for defaults
assert(self.change_default != True)
take a look on this too :

N.B:
i have openerp version 5.0.14
i will try to add more info as soon as i found more
good luck with the documentation is been a long time that i was waiting a good doc for openerp and up to date
