pyvelm v0.2.1

Release date: 2026-05-22
Base module: 0.18.0 (unchanged)

Patch release: inline One2many editing on parent forms is now usable end to end, with validation playback and clearer relational field labels.

---

Highlights

Inline One2many tables

Edit child lines on the parent form without opening a dialog for every row.

• Auto table when the comodel has a list view (or widget="table")
• Add a line footer row + Add row button — both append an editable <tr>
• Per-cell validation on save failure (422): errors and typed values replay
• Drag-reorder when the comodel list view declares sequence
• Delete row marks existing lines for unlink; new lines drop on delete

Many2many polish

Chip editor matches Many2one UX: search, create inline, open linked record in the form dialog.

Smarter default labels

Relational fields no longer show raw column names:

Field	Before	After
company_id	Company id	Company
country_id	Country id	Country
tag_ids	Tag ids	Tags
child_ids	Child ids	Children

Set string="…" on the field in your model to override.

Bug fixes

• Add row no longer stacks fields vertically — cloning used innerHTML, which broke on nested Alpine <template> markup inside M2O cells; now clones template.content and calls Alpine.initTree.
• Inline table column alignment; Many2many / nested One2many columns excluded from compact rows.
• Demo seed discovers bundled base via BUILTIN_MODULE_ROOTS.
