Standard behavior in advanced search for one2many, many2many and many2one fields is to do a name_search. This often is not satisfactionary as you might want to search for other properties. There might also be cases where you don't exactly know what you're searching for, then a list of possible options is necessary too. This module enables you to have a full search view to select the record in question, and either select specific records or select them using a search query of its own.
To use this module, you need to:
- open the advanced search options in a search view
- select a one2many, many2many or many2one field
- select operator is equal to or is not equal to
- the textfield changes to a many2one selection field where you can search for the record in question
- click Apply
To search for properties of linked records (ie invoices for customers with a credit limit higher than X):
- open the advanced search options in a search view
- select a one2many, many2many or many2one field
- select operator is in selection
- in the search view that pops up, select the criteria
- select the records you want, or select the top corner box to select all matching records with that criteria
- click Select
Note that you can stack searching for properties: Simply add another advanced search in the selection search window. You can do this indefinetely, so it is possible to search for moves belonging to a journal which has a user who is member of a certain group etc.
- When you use is in selection search system and choose a domain, it gets immediately applied, so to add a new condition, you will have to use again the Filters menu.
