This module restores the Assign to Me button that Odoo removed from the task form in version 17.0, so users can take a task with one click.

The button is highlighted while the task has no assignees, and is shown as a secondary button when the task is assigned to other users. It is hidden once the current user is among the assignees.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds an "Assign to Me" button on the project task form so a user can add themselves as an assignee of a task with one click.

This module brings back a quick way to take ownership of a task directly from the task form.

  • On the task form, next to the stage field in the header, an "Assign to Me" button appears. When the task has no assignees at all, the button is highlighted to draw attention. When the task is already assigned to other people, the button is shown as a normal secondary button. If the current user is already among the assignees, the button is hidden.
  • Clicking the button adds the current user to the task's assignees without removing anyone else who is already assigned. The task is not saved automatically beyond that change; the user still works with the task as usual.
  • A keyboard shortcut (the "q" hotkey) is attached to the button, so it can be triggered from the keyboard.

The change touches the project task screen (project.task) and its standard form view. No new menus, reports, scheduled actions or emails are added, and no other business rules or validations are introduced.
