This module extends the core feature to allow users to forward messages from the chatter of any document to another thread, without adding the recipients as followers, only notifying the current followers of the other thread.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets users forward a chatter message from any document to another record's conversation, notifying that record's followers without adding them as followers of the original document.
This module adds a forwarding option to the standard message composer used in the chatter of any Odoo document.
When you forward a message, you can choose between two destinations: - "Current thread": the message stays in the same conversation, as before. - "Another thread": you pick a target record from a list, and the message is posted there instead.
Only models that have been explicitly enabled for forwarding appear in that list. Administrators can turn this on per model through a new "Enable forwarding to" checkbox shown on the model configuration form (visible only in developer mode and only for models that support chatter).
The forwarded message keeps its body, subject (prefixed with "Fwd:"), attachments and recipients. The people notified are the followers of the destination record, not the followers of the original document, so forwarding does not subscribe anyone to the source conversation.
The module touches the message composer (mail.compose.message) and the model registry (ir.model), and extends the standard email composer wizard and model form views.
