Package: odoo-addon-partner-firstname
This module was written to extend the functionality of contacts to
support having separate last name and first name.Table of contentsConfigurationUsageKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersConfigurationYou can configure some common name patterns for the inverse function in
Settings > General settings:Lastname Firstname: For example ‘Anderson Robert’Lastname, Firstname: For example ‘Anderson, Robert’Firstname Lastname: For example ‘Robert Anderson’After applying the changes, you can recalculate all partners name
clicking “Recalculate names” button. Note: This process could take so
much time depending how many partners there are in database.You can use_get_inverse_namemethod to get lastname and firstname
from a simple string and also_get_computed_nameto get a name form
the lastname and firstname. These methods can be overridden to change
the format specified above.UsageThe fieldnamebecomes a stored function field concatenating thelast
nameand thefirst name. This avoids breaking compatibility with
other modules.Users should fulfill manually the separate fields forlast nameandfirst name, but in case you edit just thenamefield in some
unexpected module, there is an inverse function that tries to split that
automatically. It assumes that you write thenamein format configured
(“Lastname Firstname”, by default), but it could lead to wrong
splitting (because it’s just blindly trying to guess what you meant), so
you better specify it manually.For the same reason, after installing, previous names for contacts will
stay in thenamefield, and the first time you edit any of them you
will be asked to supply thelast nameandfirst name(just once per
contact).Known issues / RoadmapPatterns for the inverse function are configurable only at system level.
Maybe this configuration could depend on partner language, country or
company, as discussed atthis OCA
