How can modify a base field?

Asked by Francisco Martinez

Hi all,
(related to OpenERP v7)

I want to change the pos_reference base field to searchable, but when I try to modify through:

Configuration -> Database structure -> Fields

and the system says:

Properties of base fields cannot be altered in this manner! Please modify
them through Python code, preferably through a custom addon!

How can I do that? Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
Fran

You have to create a custom module. There are many tutorials out there if you Google openerp custom module.

The basic answer is create a new directory in the addons directory and create the files _init_.py _openerp_.py and yourmodule.py

The code inside those files is dependent on what you want to do.

Can you help with this problem?
