This module uppercases last names on create and write.
This module uses python upper function. This function uses the default unicode case folding*. This works for many languages, but not for all, like turkish where ı/I i/İ pairs work differently (see cpython issue 17252).
- The uppercasing algorithm used is described in section 3.13 ‘Default
Case Folding’ of the Unicode Standard.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Adds an option to automatically write the last names of individual contacts in capital letters. It also provides a one-time action to uppercase all existing last names.
This module extends the Contacts app (and any other place where partners are used) to store last names in uppercase for individuals, not companies.
- A new setting called "Uppercase Lastnames" appears in the General Settings, under the Companies section. It is off by default. When turned on, any new individual contact created with a last name will have that last name automatically converted to uppercase. The same happens when you edit an existing individual contact and change the last name or the company/individual flag.
- The module also adds a server action named "Uppercase all lastnames - not reversible". Running it will go through all existing individual contacts that have a last name and convert those last names to uppercase. This action is not reversible, so it should be used carefully.
- The conversion uses the standard Python uppercase function, which follows Unicode default case folding. This works for many languages but not for all, for example Turkish, where the relationship between dotted and dotless i is different.
- The module depends on the partner_firstname module, which splits the name field into first name and last name. Only the last name is affected; first names are left unchanged. Companies are never modified.
