This module was written to extend the functionality of contact types for a flexible extension.
It adds computed helper fields on res.partner (is_address_readonly, is_individual, can_be_parent, can_be_child) that other modules can override to customize which partners can be parents or children, which partners get a split name, and when the address fields are readonly.
In the partner form, the module:
- re-adds the address type selection (replaced by a readonly label in Odoo 19), so the type can be chosen when creating a contact;
- binds the readonly state of the address fields only to is_address_readonly, so extension modules control it in one place.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds helper flags on contacts that decide when address fields are locked, when a contact can be a parent or a child, and when the name is split; it also brings back the address type selector on the contact form.
This module prepares the contact form so that other modules can control how addresses and contact types behave. It does not add a new menu; everything appears on the standard contact form (Contacts app).
On every contact, four automatic indicators are calculated from the company flag, the address type and the parent contact: - whether the address fields should be locked (read-only); - whether the contact is an individual (so the name is split into first and last name); - whether the contact can be used as a parent contact; - whether the contact can be attached to a parent.
In the contact form: - the address type selector is shown again (Odoo 19 replaced it with a plain label), hidden for companies and required for individuals; - the parent contact field only appears for contacts that can be a child, and only offers contacts that can be a parent (companies); - the street, street 2, city, state, zip and country fields become read-only only when the address-locked indicator is set; - the first/last name field is required for individuals and the job position field is hidden for companies; - the extra info section is hidden when the address is locked.
The same rules apply inside the sub-contacts list on the form. The module touches the contact model res.partner and its main and simplified forms.
