How do I Get External ID?

#external #identifier

All objects have an External ID.

Especially in Saas, very often you will be asked for external ID of something (models, fields, views, etc.)

Works if it is included in Standard Odoo (not through studio): Model: {module}.model_{model_name}
Fields: {module}.fields_{model_name}__{field_name}
Views: Need to activate debug mode first

If you are running it on web, you can get external ID of anything by viewing the metadata of the particular record

What is the Running Code Behind the Flow?

When you access the page, running the code will always be triggered by a certain actio, i.e. clicking a button, adding a new line.

As long as you know the trigger point you can put debugger in there and trace the code running path.

i.e.

1. Clicking a button
2. Newly created record
3. Updating a value on the record

Once you put a debugger, you can check where the source path is running from and what's next
