AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Automatically updates a parent task's deadline to match the earliest deadline among its child tasks whenever a child's deadline is created or changed.

This module extends the Project app to keep parent task deadlines in sync with their subtasks. When you set or change the deadline on a child task, Odoo automatically recalculates the parent task's deadline to be the earliest deadline among all its children that have a deadline.

  • The update happens when a task is created with a deadline or when an existing task's deadline is modified.
  • Only tasks that have a parent are affected; top-level tasks are not changed.
  • The parent's deadline is set to the minimum deadline of all its child tasks that have a deadline. If no child has a deadline, the parent's deadline is left unchanged.
  • The parent's deadline is only updated if it differs from the calculated earliest child deadline.

This behaviour helps project managers keep parent tasks aligned with the most urgent subtask, without manual adjustments. It works silently in the background and does not add any new menus, buttons, or reports. It only affects the project.task model and its date_deadline field.
