Mail suggested recipient unchecked
This module unchecks the extra suggested recipients by default when going to write a new message in a chatter thread.
Odoo suggests new recipients on several parts of the suite to accommodate business needs. Example: on CRM opportunities, it proposes the lead partner to be added to the thread (or to create a partner from the email if not exists) when the partner is not follower yet. Another similar example happens with project tasks with a linked customer that is not yet follower.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0When you open the chatter to send a message, the extra recipients Odoo suggests (such as a lead's customer or a task's contact) are no longer ticked by default, so you must choose them yourself.
This module changes how the message composer in the chatter behaves. Normally, when you write a new message on a record, Odoo may propose additional people to notify — for example the customer linked to a CRM opportunity or the contact linked to a project task — and those suggestions can come pre-selected.
With this module installed, every suggested recipient is shown unticked. You still see the suggestions, but nothing is added to the message unless you tick the box yourself. This avoids sending internal notes or emails to customers or contacts by accident.
The change applies everywhere the chatter is used, because it modifies the shared mail.thread behaviour that all discussion-enabled records rely on. No new menus, screens, buttons or reports are added, and no other business rules, checks or scheduled actions are introduced. It is a small, purely behavioural change to the recipient suggestions in the message composer.
