Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Enable developer mode.
2. Go to the form view of the model to which you want to add the new sequential default value.
3. Hover over the field to which you want to add the sequential default value. A tooltip with more info will appear.
4. Make sure the tooltip says Type: char. Only those fields will work.
5. Take note of the Object and Field.
6. Go to Settings > Technical > Sequences & Identifiers > Sequences.
7. Create one sequence with code named after this pattern: base_sequence_default.{object}.fields.{field}. E.g.: base_sequence_default.res.partner.fields.name to add a default sequenced name for new partners.
8. Configure the sequence at will.

Usage

To use this module, it is necessary to:

1. Follow the configuration instructions.
2. Create a record of the model you configured.
3. Leave empty the fields where you configured a sequence. If they are required fields, set value to "-" to trigger the automatic sequence on creation.
4. Check that the field defined in the sequence is set to the next value in the sequence.
