AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0

Adds a configurable "Type" classification to projects and tasks, with a hierarchy of types and subtypes. Users can tag projects and tasks with a type and filter or group by it.

This module introduces a new "Project Type" concept that you can use to classify your projects and tasks.

  • A new configuration menu "Project Types" appears under Project configuration, where you can create types, give them a name and description, and organise them into a parent/child hierarchy (subtypes).
  • Each type has two switches: "Can be applied for projects" and "Can be applied for tasks". Only types with the matching switch are offered when choosing a type on a project or a task.
  • On the project form, a "Type" field is added next to the project manager. On the task form, a "Type" field is added next to the tags.
  • In both the project and task search views, you can filter by type and group records by type.
  • The full name of a type is built automatically from its parent, for example "Parent / Child".
  • The system prevents you from creating a type that would be its own ancestor (recursive types are blocked with an error message).
  • Only project managers can create, edit or delete project types; other users can only read them.
