In Odoo 17, CogMenu (or Configuration Menu) is a feature typically found in
various modules that allows users to configure settings related to that

CogMenu.components = { DropdownItem };
export const CogMenuItem = {
Component: CogMenu,
groupNumber: 20,
isDisplayed: ({ config }) => config.viewType != "form",
