This module was written to extend the functionality of project task to require certain fields to be filled out based on the stage of the task.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you mark certain task fields as mandatory for specific project stages, so a task cannot be moved into a stage until those fields are filled in.

This module extends project tasks so that each stage can have its own list of mandatory fields. On the stage configuration screen (the form used to edit task stages), a new field lets you pick which task fields must be filled before a task can be in that stage.

When a user opens a task form, any field required by the task's current stage is automatically shown as required. If a user tries to move a task into a stage without filling those fields, Odoo blocks the change and shows an error naming the missing field and the stage.

  • Configure mandatory fields per stage on project.task.type.
  • Required fields are enforced when the stage changes on project.task.
  • Empty values are detected for text, numbers, dates, selections, booleans and relational fields.
  • The task form view is adjusted dynamically so required fields are highlighted.

It only touches the Project app: task stages and tasks. No new menus or reports are added.
