I'm using Odoo 8
and I have a problem with compute field
with type is Many2One
.
Here, I declared department_id
:
department_id = fields.Text(
string="Department", store=True,
comodel_name="hr.department",
compute="_get_department_id"
)
And fuction of this compute field:
@api.depends('employee_id')
def _get_department_id(self):
if self.employee_id.department_id:
self.department_id = self.employee_id.department_id.name
It seems to work right now, but it's not. In view, I can see the value of department_id
. But in the database, the table has no column department_id
and has no value of this column.
My question is: how can I store the department_id
in database?
Notes:
department_id
, I set store=True
, but it did NOT store the value of this field in database.I did a test. I add compute_field
with type Text
, It works, I don't know why compute field doesn't work with type Many2One
.
@api.depends('employee_id')
def _get_compute_field(self):
if self.employee_id.department_id:
self.compute_field = self.employee_id.department_id.name
compute_field = fields.Text(
string="Compute Field", store=True,
compute="_get_compute_field"
)
The store=True
works.
It may be that you added the computation to the field after it was created on the database. In this case the initial computation is not triggered.
A work around is to drop the column from the table and then upgrade your module. When the field is recreated the initial values should be computed.
