Eagle Estates - Part 12

When you try to select a property through a Many2one field, you can search properties by their name only. The same applies when the properties are displayed in a Many2one field: only their names are displayed.

We want to change this so that the construction_date is used not only to search for a property, but is also displayed alongside the name.

• Override the _compute_display_name method of the eagle.property model to display the construction_date alongside the name.

Now, something to consider: as we have seen before, onchange methods are only called when we modify one of their dependencies through the UI, as onchange methods are triggered through JavaScript. This means that, if at any point we create a new eagle.property record through XML or Python, the age will not be set as it is set through an onchange method. To circumvent this, we can set the value of the age field directly by calling the onchange method manually in the create method.
