auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you choose which contacts Odoo suggests when you type @ in chatter messages: all partners, only partners linked to users, or only internal users.
This module adds a setting to control who appears in the @ mention suggestions inside chatter messages.
You can find the new option in Settings, in the Discuss section, under a setting labelled for contact mention suggestions. The choice is saved per company.
Available options: - Users: suggests partners linked to any kind of user (internal, portal or public). - Internal Users: suggests only partners linked to internal users. - Empty (default): keeps standard Odoo behaviour and suggests all partners.
The module changes how mention suggestions are searched on res.partner, and also filters the suggestions shown in the web client so only valid suggestions are displayed. It touches the company settings (res.company), the settings screen (res.config.settings) and the partner model (res.partner).
