This module makes Employee a required field for Time Log entry.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0This module makes the Employee field mandatory on time log entries that are linked to a project, so users cannot save a task log without saying who did the work.
When a user records time on a project task, Odoo normally allows the Employee field to stay empty. With this module installed, that is no longer possible: if a time log line is attached to a project and no employee is set, Odoo refuses to save it and shows the message "Employee is required for Task Log".
The rule is applied automatically whenever a time log is created or changed, and it checks both the project and the employee at the same time. Time logs that are not linked to any project are not affected, so general analytic entries can still be recorded without an employee.
The change touches the same time log records used by the Timesheets application (account.analytic.line). No new menus, screens, buttons or reports are added; the only visible difference is the validation message that appears when the employee is missing on a project-related time log.
Because the check is a validation constraint, it also applies when time logs are created or modified through imports or other automated processes, not only through the user interface.
