This module allows to configure project as having task on timesheet as a mandatory field.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you make the task field mandatory on timesheets, either by default for the whole company or per project, so users cannot log time without choosing a task.
This module adds a simple but strict rule to timesheet entry: when a project requires tasks, every timesheet line must have a task selected.
Where you configure it: - In Settings, under the timesheet/project time options, there is a new setting "Require Tasks on Timesheets". It sets the default for new projects. - On each project form, when timesheets are allowed, a new option "Require Tasks on Timesheets" appears. It is pre-filled from the company default but can be changed per project.
What changes for users:
- On timesheet lines (the account.analytic.line records used by hr_timesheet), the task field becomes required whenever the related project requires tasks. This applies both in the form and in the list view.
- If someone tries to save a timesheet line without a task on such a project, Odoo blocks it with the message "You must specify a task for timesheet lines."
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The requirement is driven by the project setting, which itself defaults from the company setting. - The check runs automatically whenever the project or task on a timesheet line is changed.
Areas touched: timesheets, projects, and company settings. No new menus or reports are added; the module only extends existing screens.
