Undocumented stuff

• initial_mode option defines the starting mode of the form view, one of view and edit (?). Default value is view (non-editable form).

• embedded_view attribute has to be set separately when providing a view directly, no option available for that usage.

  • View arch must contain node with @class="oe_form_container", otherwise everything will break without any info
  • Root element of view arch not being form may or may not work correctly, no idea.
  • Freeform views => @version="7.0"
• Form is not entirely loaded (some widgets may not appear) unless on_record_loaded is called (or do_show, which itself calls on_record_loaded).
• “Empty” form => on_button_new (…), or manually call default_get + on_record_loaded
• Form fields default to width: 100%, padding, !important margin, can be reached via .oe_form_field

• Form will render buttons and a pager, offers options to locate both outside of form itself ($buttons and $pager), providing empty jquery objects ($()) seems to stop displaying both but not sure if there are deleterious side-effects.

  Other options:

  • Pass in $(document.createDocumentFragment) to ensure it’s a DOM-compatible tree completely outside of the actual DOM.
  • ???

• readonly fields probably don’t have a background, beware if need of overlay

  • What is the difference between readonly and effective_readonly?

• No facilities for DOM events handling/delegations e.g. handling keyup/keydown/keypress from a form fields into the form’s user.

  • Also no way to reverse from a DOM node (e.g. DOMEvent#target) back to a form view field easily
