Eagle Estates - Part 10

To-Do's

• Add parent_id and child_ids fields to the eagle.property model
• Update the existing Properties window action and create a new one, to display Compounds and Units respectively
• Use the context to set a default name for the properties:
  • Compounds: "New Compound"
  • Units: "New Unit"
• Use the domain to filter the properties displayed through the Compounds and Units action

Notes

• to set a default value through the context, you can use this syntax to set a key in the context : default_<FIELD_NAME>

Parent/Child relationships:

parent_id = fields.Many2one('eagle.property', string="Parent Property")
child_ids = fields.One2many('eagle.property', 'parent_id', string="Child Properties")

We can add the parent_id field to the Properties views, but there is no need to add the child_ids just yet.

<!-- Add the parent_id field to the properties views -->
<field name="parent_id"/>
<field name="child_ids"/>
