This module aims to facilitate back-and-forth activity assignment between users by automatically selecting activity creator as the assignee of the followup activity when using button "Done & schedule next". Use case:

Mitchell Admin assigns activity "to do" to Marc Demo \> Marc Demo clicks "done and schedule next" on the activity \> in new activity form, "assigned to" is set to Mitchell Admin (unless a different default user is set for the selected activity type).

Furthermore, the module corrects a behavior that can induce user to assigning a new activity to themselves instead of the previously selected user. Use case:

Mitchell Admin creates a new activity, selects "Marc Demo" as "assigned to", but then changes activity type.

In standard behavior "assigned to" is reset to "Mitchell Admin"; with this module, the user selection is maintained when changing activity type (unless a different default user is set for the selected activity type).

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

When you click "Done & schedule next" on an activity, the follow-up activity is automatically assigned back to the person who created the original one, making back-and-forth task handovers easier.

This module changes how activities behave in Odoo's chatter and activity scheduling screens.

  • When a user clicks "Done & schedule next" on an activity, the new activity form opens with "Assigned to" pre-filled with the creator of the original activity instead of the current user. This makes it easy to send the task back to the person who asked for it.
  • If the selected activity type has its own default responsible user configured, that default is respected and the creator is not forced.
  • The module also fixes a related annoyance: when you create an activity, pick a colleague as "Assigned to", and then change the activity type, Odoo normally resets the assignee to yourself. With this module, your chosen colleague stays selected, unless the new activity type defines its own default user.

It works on the mail.activity model and only affects the activity scheduling pop-up and the "Done & schedule next" button. No new menus, reports, or scheduled jobs are added.
