Overview

The Recursive Tree View module for Odoo allows users to easily visualize hierarchical data structures in tree views. Mark a tree view as recursive to enable expansion of descendants of a parent record, enhancing the visualization of complex data.

Features

• Expand and collapse descendants directly in tree views.
• Mark specific tree views as recursive to represent hierarchical data.
• Improve navigation and understanding of complex relationships.

Configuration

1. Install the module in Odoo.
2. Configure the desired tree views to be recursive by modifying the view definition. Simply add the attribute recursive="1" to a given tree element to make it recursive.

Usage

• Navigate to the view marked as recursive.
• Click the arrow to the left of a parent record to expand it and see its descendants.
• Use expand/collapse to navigate the hierarchy as desired .

Technical

• The module extends the `tree` view type to add recursive behavior, allowing descendants to be dynamically loaded and displayed.
• This feature is particularly useful for models that represent hierarchical relationships, such as categories, organizational units, or nested tasks.
• The module uses the field specified by `_parent_name` on the model, which is `parent_id` by default.
