auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds a description field to contact tags (categories), so you can store extra notes about each tag. The description is translatable and appears in the tag form, list and search views.

This module extends the contact tags (categories) in Odoo with an extra text field called description.

Where it appears: - On the contact tag form, a new group with the description field is added after the existing groups. - In the contact tag list view, the description column is shown by default (you can hide it with the optional column toggle). - In the contact tag search view, the description is added right after the name, so you can search tags by their description.

Business behaviour: - The description is a short text field and is translatable, meaning you can enter a different description per language. - No automatic checks, computations, restrictions, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module.

What it touches: - The res.partner.category model, which is the model behind contact tags. - The standard contact tag views from the Contacts app (form, list and search).

This is a simple data-organisation helper: it does not change how contacts are created or how tags are assigned, it only lets you document what each tag means.
