You've to create records in new model with the required data. For example: Record1: Test1 , Record2: Test2 and so on and then use many2many field.

req = fields.Many2many('test.request', string="Request")

and for checkbox you can use widget: many2many_checkboxes widget

<field name="req" widget="many2many_checkboxes">

for selection field:

request = fields.Selection(
    [('t1', 'Test1'),
     ('t2', 'Test2'),
     ('t3', 'Test3'),
     ('t4', 'Test4'),
     ('t5', 'Test5'),
    string='Request')

xml:

<field name="request">

Have you added a security file and records in that model? As same is working for me. – Himanshu Sharma Jul 06 '21 at 07:05
for test.request module does it need to have xml tree view and form because i only want to show the value for checkbox ? – mira Jul 06 '21 at 08:48
How you're creating a record if you don't have a view? – Himanshu Sharma Jul 06 '21 at 09:42
sorry but i'm new to odoo , my aim is to show it to the user as test 1,test 2 and he choose from selection value i don't want to insert it in db is that possible ? – mira Jul 06 '21 at 09:55
If you want configurable selection data then it is not possible. But if you have a pre-defined list of data then you can simply use Selection field instead of many2many. – Himanshu Sharma Jul 06 '21 at 10:05
I've updated my answer of selection field too. – Himanshu Sharma Jul 06 '21 at 10:06

so it's not possible, but the problem is that i need to select multiple value which is not possible by using fields.Selection As i know! – mira Jul 06 '21 at 10:17
Yes, it is not possible to select many values using ``Selection`` field. – Kenly Jul 06 '21 at 10:18
