What it does
This module provides safe selectors for Models and Fields in Odoo/Viindoo.
Normally, end-users cannot access ir.model and ir.model.fields because of strict ACL restrictions.
However, many business apps (approvals, reporting, data mapping, workflow automation…) require dynamic model/field selection.
Granting direct access to system tables is a security risk.
With this module, developers can use viin.safe.model and viin.safe.field as safe proxies (SQL views) to expose only necessary metadata.
IDs remain identical to the originals, so developers can integrate seamlessly while end-users can configure safely.
Key Features
- Safe Model Selector
* Proxy model: viin.safe.model (SQL view from ir.model).
* Exposes technical name, human-readable name, module, state, transient flag…
* ID identical to ir.model.id for seamless integration.
- Safe Field Selector
* Proxy model: viin.safe.field (SQL view from ir.model.fields).
* Exposes field name, label, type, relation, required, readonly, store, etc.
* ID identical to ir.model.fields.id for direct mapping.
- Security & Simplicity
* End-users only need ACLs on proxy models, not on system tables.
* Developers avoid hacks and boilerplate code.
* Always in sync with core tables, no manual maintenance needed.
