Variant Name

Adds a custom display name field to product variants, replacing Odoo's default attribute-based naming with human-readable names.

Why this exists

Odoo names product variants by appending attribute values to the template name: "Hamilton STAR (96-Channel, Large Deck)". For Nugget's product catalog, these auto-generated names are often too long, too technical, or don't match how the team refers to products. This module lets each variant have its own clean display name.

How it works

Adds a variant_name field to product.product. The display_name computation is overridden:

• If variant_name is set → display name is the variant name (replaces template name entirely)
• If variant_name is blank → display name is the template name (no attribute suffix)

The internal reference (SKU) is not included in the display name.

CSV import/export

The variant_name field supports standard Odoo CSV import/export for bulk updates.

Key Views

• Product variant form — variant_name field after SKU, placeholder: "Leave blank to use template name"
• Product variant quick-edit modal — same field in the simplified edit view
• Product variant list — display_name column replaces default name column (with text-wrap)

Configuration

No configuration required. Just edit the variant_name field on any product variant.

Test Plan

#	Test	Expected Result
01	Set variant_name on a product variant	Display name shows the custom name everywhere
02	Clear variant_name on a product variant	Display name falls back to template name
03	Check display in PO line, SO line, inventory move	Custom name renders correctly in all contexts
04	Check display in product list view	Custom name with text-wrap rendering
05	Export products to CSV	variant_name column included
06	Import CSV with variant_name values	Names update correctly
