Odoo 10 selection fields value - odoo

Question

How can i get selection fields value in odoo 10?
def compute_default_value(self):
return self.get_value("field")
I tried this,
def compute_default_value(self):
return dict(self._fields['field'].selection).get(self.type)
Also tried this,but it is not working.
Please help me, i could not find the solution.
Thank you.

Answer 1

You can do this in a following manner:
self._fields['your_field']._desription_selection(self.env)
This will return the selection list of pairs (value, label).
If you just need possible values, you can use get_values method.
self._fields['your_field'].get_values(self.env)
But it's not a common way. Most of the time people define selections differently and then use those definitions. For example, I commonly use classes for those.
class BaseSelectionType(object):
""" Base abstract class """
values = None
#classmethod
def get_selection(cls):
return [(x, cls.values[x]) for x in sorted(cls.values)]
#classmethod
def get_value(cls, _id):
return cls.values.get(_id, False)
class StateType(BaseSelectionType):
""" Your selection """
NEW = 1
IN_PROGRESS = 2
FINISHED = 3
values = {
NEW: 'New',
IN_PROGRESS: 'In Progress',
FINISHED: 'Finished'
}
You can use this class wherever you want, just import it.
state = fields.Selection(StateType.get_selection(), 'State')
And it's really handy to use those in the code. For example, if you want to do something on a specific state:
if self.state == StateType.NEW:
# do your code ...

I don't get the question fully, but let me try to answer. Why not just define the selection as method and use it for both situations:
from datetime import datetime
from odoo import models, fields
class MyModel(models.Model):
_name = 'my.model'
def month_selection(self):
return [(1, 'Month1'), (2, 'Month2')]
def compute_default_value(self):
selection = self.month_selection()
# do whatever you want here
month = fields.Selection(
selection=month_selection, string='Month',
default=datetime.now().month, required=True)
