How do I get selection field value in odoo?

I have a selection field on a model called hr.overtime.rule like this:

buttons = fields.Selection([('per_day', 'Per Day'), ('monthly', 'Monthly')])

Now I have another model which, based on selected value it should do some computations. The logic is that when it is per_day it should do different computations and when in monthly it should do again different computations and that's why I need to check with an if statement whether is per_day or monthly.

What have I tried:

Thanks for your time fellas! I'd really appreciate your thoughts into this.

What you want to do is performing computations based on the value of a specific field, in this case, what I can suggest is to use an onchange function on that field:

example:

#better rename to hr_overtime_rule_id
button_id = fields.Many2one('hr.overtime.rule')

@api.onchange('button_id')
def onchange_button_id(self):
    if self.button_id.buttons == 'per_day':
        computations1()
    if self.button_id.buttons == 'monthly':
        computations2()

make sure your field grabs the object, otherwise you may need to define a new One2many field in the original model to link it with the current model using the reverse keyword

In order to get the value of selected field you can also do this:

  1. Find a relation of your current working model and the other model.
  2. After finding the relation(or just create one) you can access it with a related field
  3. The syntax should be smth like this: var = fields.Many2one('your.model') and then var2 = fields.Selection(related='var.technical_name')

and after doing so, you can check it with if statements
