Odoo Server (MOVED TO GITHUB)

Boolean field, fail when loading data xml files.

Asked by ginsmar

I'm loading our partner data with xml files, for example:

        <record id="res_partner_1" model="res.partner">
            <field name="name">Alternate</field>
            <field name="ref">ALTERNATE</field>
            <field name="lang">es_ES</field>
            <field name="vat">ESG08557985</field>
            <field name="title">ltd</field>
            <field name="vat_subjected">1</field>
            <field name="customer">False</field>
            <field name="supplier">True</field>
        </record>

The result is ever customer and supplier True both.

If you write next below, customer and supplier are True both too:
            <field name="customer">0</field>
            <field name="supplier">1</field>

Only writting next below I can get the correct result:
            <field name="customer" eval="0"></field>
            <field name="supplier" eval="1"></field>

I don't know if it's a bug, but can drive you crazy at first.

Best Regards,
Gins

Hello Ginsmar,

You are right, its definitely not a bug.

Here is a thing in openerp that,by default any value is set to False.
If you have set boolean to be 1 in _defaults,its a different scenario.

If you want to set customer to be False, you do not need to write it in xml file..

Setting eval=SOMETHING will work well undoubtedly as it means 'set this value to this field'.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello Jay. Thanks for your attention.
The problem is that default value of customer at partner object is 1.
Then you need write in xml file if you want to a customer to be false.

Yes,

I agree. At this point of time, you will need to use eval="0".

Kindly close this thread of question. If you want this as an improvement,please create a blueprint.
Thank you.
