AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds an automatic sequential number (like T0001) to every project task, shown before the task title. Each project can choose to display the number with the title or the number alone.

This module gives every task a unique task number generated automatically from a sequence (prefix "T" and four digits, e.g. T0001). The number is read-only and cannot be edited by users, and it must be unique per company.

On each project, a new setting lets you decide how tasks are identified: - "Number and Title": the task is shown as [T0001] Task title. - "Number only": only the number is shown; the title is kept but hidden and no longer required.

Where it appears: - Project form, in the settings section, as a radio choice. - Task form: the number appears before the title; the title field is hidden and not required when the project uses "Number only". - Task list and kanban views: the number is displayed before the task name. - Task search: searching by text also matches the task number.

When the module is installed, all existing tasks are numbered automatically in order of creation. New tasks get their number when they are created. Duplicate numbers within the same company are blocked by a database rule.

terminal Installation and usage

OCA documentation · Odoo 19.0

Configuration

Source · Odoo 19.0

To choose how the tasks of a project are identified, you must:

  • Go to Project \> Configuration \> Projects and open a project.
  • In the Settings tab, set "Task Name Display" to:
  • "Number and Title" (default) to show the task number followed by its title.
  • "Number only" to show the task number alone. Titles are still stored (so, for instance, tasks created from an incoming email keep the mail subject) but they are neither displayed nor required.

To change the task code sequence, you must:

  • Activate the developer mode.
  • Go to Settings \> Technical \> Sequences & Identifiers \> Sequences.
  • Click on "Task code" sequence to edit.
