Touching to have that 3 level hierarchy is not recommended, as other things depend on that hierarchy, and you won't obtain the desired partner on the corresponding parts.

Hi Pedro,

 

I understand your intension regarding a partner_name_split module, but I am not sure if merging partner_firstname, partner_second_lastname, partner_middlename into one module would make the module to complex. The partner_firstname tests are already complex. Adding more configurable  cases could make the module very complex in development, if there is not a very clear definition how the splitting should work in each case.

 

Maybe we could add a partner_name_split module, which adds some configuration options and controls the installation of these existing modules?

 

But this is all going a lot further than the change I like to make at this point. I just want to add different address types like “partner_address” (contact with firstname/lastname but editable address) order “service” (only name and no editable address). The idea is to have better filter options and more control, when we have firstname/lastname and when we have only name.

 

There is also a lot of inconsistencies in Odoo. e.g. you can add a subcontact to a individual, but you cannot select an individual as a parent. Therefore another attribute like “can_be_parent” would be nice, because we use “other address” to track addresses of offices, and want to add the employees to each office. But therefore “other_address” needs to be selectable in “parent_id”, but currently only is_company is selectable in standard.

 

Best Regards

Yeah, I also feel that we should refactor into a "contact name splitting" module, for parameterizing which fields to show and with which goal. For example, having first name and second name, initials, and so on. This can depend on the country or other. I think this also fits with your use case.

 

Regards.
