AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

This module makes the Project field mandatory on tasks, so users cannot save a task without choosing a project. The requirement can be turned on or off per company in Project settings.

This module adds a company-level setting that decides whether every task must belong to a project. When the setting is enabled, the Project field on a task becomes required and Odoo blocks saving a task without a project with the message "You must specify a project for the task."

Where it appears: - In Project settings, under the Tasks Management section, there is a new checkbox "Require Projects on Tasks" with the note "Require project selection on each task by default". The setting is company-specific. - On the task form, task list and the quick-create task form, the Project field is shown as required when the setting is on. In the quick-create form the Project field is hidden when the setting is off.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The requirement is controlled by the company of the task, so different companies can have different rules. - A validation check runs whenever the Project field changes and raises an error if the task has no project while the requirement is active. - The setting is enabled by default for new companies.

Areas touched: tasks (project.task), companies (res.company) and the general settings screen (res.config.settings).
