AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Automatically gives every project a unique sequence code (like 2025-00001) and shows it in the project's display name, so projects are easy to identify and search by number.

This module adds an automatic reference number to each project. When a new project is created, Odoo assigns it a unique sequence code from a yearly numbering sequence (prefix based on the year, five digits). The code is read-only and cannot be duplicated, so every project has its own identifier.

Where it appears: - On the project form, the sequence code is shown right under the project title. - In the project list view, a "Sequence code" column is available (hidden by default, can be enabled). - In the project search bar, typing a term now matches both the project name and the sequence code.

Automatic behaviours: - If a project is created without a name, the sequence code is used as its name. - The project's display name is built from a configurable pattern, by default "sequence code - name". - When a project has an analytic account, its name is kept in sync with the project's display name. - A project name is still required (a database check prevents empty names).

Settings: - In the Project settings screen, a new field lets you change the display name pattern using the placeholders for sequence code and name.

It touches the project model project.project and the settings screen res.config.settings.
