Can I add custom fields to Odoo tasks without a developer?

What field types does Custom Fields For Task support?

The module supports text, character (char), integer, float, selection (dropdown), date, many2one (relational), and one2many (relational) field types. This covers virtually every data capture scenario — from simple text notes to complex relational links between Odoo models.

Which Odoo versions does Custom Fields For Task support?

How Custom Fields For Task Solves Odoo Task Form Limitations

Problem

Zehntech Solution

Adding a new field to task forms requires a developer

Non-technical interface lets any admin create fields instantly

Custom development delays block project teams from capturing critical data

Fields are live on task forms immediately after creation — no deployment cycles

Standard task forms lack industry-specific or process-specific fields

Unlimited custom fields of any supported type can be added to match your exact workflow

No way to enforce mandatory data entry on custom task fields

Required field designation ensures users cannot save tasks without completing critical fields

Custom fields appear in random positions, breaking form usability

Configurable field placement lets you position each field exactly where it belongs

Editing or removing custom fields requires developer intervention

Full CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) available from an intuitive tree view

Relational data between tasks and other Odoo models is inaccessible on task forms

Many2one and one2many field types link tasks directly to related Odoo records

Managing custom fields across multiple tasks has no centralized interface

Dedicated tree view provides a single management point for all custom task fields

Everything You Need to Customize Odoo Task Forms

Non-Technical Field Creation Interface

Create custom fields through an intuitive, form-based interface designed for functional users — not developers. Select your field type, configure properties, and deploy to task forms in seconds.

Multiple Field Type Support

Choose from text, character (char), integer, float, selection (dropdown), date, many2one, and one2many field types to match your exact data requirements.

Required Field Designation

Mark any custom field as required so users cannot save a task without completing it. Mandatory fields enforce data quality at the point of entry.

Customizable Field Placement

Control exactly where each custom field appears within the task form layout. Well-positioned fields keep forms logical and usable, reducing friction for end users.

Full CRUD Field Management

Create, read, update, and delete custom fields at any time from a centralized tree view interface. As your processes evolve, your task forms evolve with them.

Many2one Relational Fields

Link task fields to records in other Odoo models using many2one relationships. Tasks gain direct access to related data — keeping context visible without navigating away.

One2many Relational Fields

Create one2many fields that display related child records directly within the task form. Complex task workflows can be managed within a single task view.

Define dropdown fields with custom options tailored to your business vocabulary — statuses, categories, priorities, or any controlled list.

Tree View Field Management

All custom fields are visible and manageable from a dedicated tree view that shows field name, type, and status at a glance.

Real-Time Form Updates

Custom fields appear on task forms immediately after creation — no page refresh delays, no cache clearing, no server restart required.
