This module automatically adds project_task.description to messages posted on project.task creation, providing immediate context without requiring recipients to open the task itself.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

When a project task is created, the notification message now includes the task description, so recipients see the context directly in the notification without opening the task.

This module changes how the automatic creation message on a project task is built. Normally, when a task is created, Odoo posts a short notification (for example "Task created") on the task's chatter. With this module installed, that same notification also contains the task's description text.

The behaviour is automatic and applies to tasks in the Project app. It works by extending the message posting logic of project.task: when a message is posted with no body and it is the creation notification, the module builds the body from the creation notification name plus the task description, labelled "Task Description". If the task has no description, only the notification name is shown.

  • No new menus, screens, buttons or reports are added.
  • No new fields are added; the existing task description is reused.
  • The change is visible in the chatter of the task and in the notification emails or messages sent to followers.
  • It only affects the creation notification, not other messages posted later on the task.

It touches the project.task model only. Users do not need to configure anything: installing the module is enough.
