AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

This module lets you create and manage a hierarchy of project and task types, then assign a type to each project and task. You can also filter and group projects and tasks by type.

Project Types adds a new configuration area where you can define types and subtypes for your projects and tasks. Each type has a name, an optional parent type (so you can build a tree of types and subtypes), a description, a code, and two switches: one to allow it on projects and one to allow it on tasks.

Once types exist, a new Type field appears on project forms and task forms. When you pick a type for a project, only types marked as usable for projects are offered; for tasks, only types marked as usable for tasks are offered. The type is copied when you duplicate a project or task.

The module also adds Type filters and grouping options to the project and task search views, so you can quickly find or group records by type.

Business rules: the system prevents you from creating a type that would form a loop in the parent/subtype hierarchy. The full name of a type is automatically built by combining the parent's full name with the type's own name, separated by a slash.

Where to find it: go to Project configuration and open the Project Types menu to manage the list. Project and task forms show the new Type field, and their search views include Type filters and grouping.
