This module adds a selection field 'Type' in Contact Tags to be inherited and used in other modules.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a 'Type' field to Contact Tags (res.partner.category) so tags can be classified by type. The type is inherited from a parent tag and kept consistent between parent and child tags.
This module extends Contact Tags (the categories used to label contacts) with an extra 'Type' field. The field appears in the tag list and tag form views, right after the tag name.
- The Type is a selection field. By default only one value is provided: 'Generic'.
- When a tag has a parent tag, its Type is automatically taken from the parent; tags without a parent get the default type.
- Changing the Type on a parent tag automatically updates the Type of all its child tags.
- A validation rule prevents saving a tag whose Type differs from its parent's Type; an error message is shown naming both the tag and the parent.
- The Type field is required and stored in the database.
This module is designed as a base: other modules can extend the list of available types and use the field for their own logic. It touches the Contact Tags model res.partner.category and its list and form views. No new menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added.
