Mass Editing

This module allows to edit several records at the same time in any Odoo model

Difference in comparison to the Odoo Feature

Since Odoo V13, a limited "mass Editing feature" is available in Odoo CE.

This module provides the following extra features that are not in the Core for the time being:

• Possibility to mass edit many fields in a single action
• Possibility to add a group to limit the usage of this function to given people
• Possibility to filter the items the user can mass update
• Possibility to mass edit any fields with any widget. (For exemple color fields, image fields, etc...)
