Trying to do it in bite size pieces so I'm glad it's helping!

Hi, do you know why this does not work? Order Confirmation Date: if a do this it works Order Confirmation Date: do I call it wrong ['sale']" ?? the stages should be draft, sent, sale, cancel, but maybe I just have a wrong name

[@odoo-it-yourself]

If it’s only one in a list, I’d use equals instead. Not fully sure how why that tends to work, but it does. Sale is a status so you should be good otherwise. Hopefully this helps.

I can't wait to dive into reports once we complete our 17 upgrade! Off topic but any tips to find all form, reports, views, etc. that have no update set to true?

[@odoo-it-yourself]

That's a good question. Let me see...I want to do a video on the upgrade process. Hopefully make it easier for everyone because that can be a huge barrier.

@@odoo-it-yourself Triple thumbs up!

Why did they change the report customization? This looks way more complicated than the previous way

[@odoo-it-yourself]

I’m quite baffled by the decision as well. Doesn’t make any sense to me.

Is there a best recommended practice when looking to replace/modify the existing web.external_layout templates on the SaaS version of Odoo? (Ie. A new custom header and footer template across all document templates )

[@odoo-it-yourself]

You would want to make sure you have a custom container (header and footer) and custom reports. You would duplicate the existing container and change the container the report calls.

[@tiffanyjanish332]

is there a way to set a report in landscape view vs portrait?

[@odoo-it-yourself]

Yep! You can change the paper format. I haven't done that in 17 yet, but it wasn't too bad in earlier versions.
