Hi to all,

I'd like to extend the hr.attendance data model to manage a default break per day. So I switched to developer mode, then went to "technical" -> "data models" found hr.attendance model and added a float number field x_break. I also modified the corresponding view so that this field is shown. Now, how can I achieve, that this field carries a value of, for instance, 0.75 by default? The field should be editable but if no one edits, it should be 0.75. How can I do it? 

And, as a second step, I would like to have another field that shows the difference between worked_hours and this break. I think that this shoul be a calculated field. In the field definition I see a textbox "compute". Do I simply write down "worked_hours - x_break" in this textbox?

Best regards

Hi,

You can define the default value for x_break as follows:

  • Activate developer mode.
  • Go to the view/form where you have added the field.
  • Click on create to open a blank record and type 0.75 into the field.
  • Go into "Open Developer Tools" (the bug symbol at the top right of the screen) and choose "Set Defaults". Select "<name of x_break> = 0.75" and "All users" and click on "Save Default". This will save 0.75 as the default value for all users.

For the second step (assuming you have added another field called x_netto_hours), you can set the following in the Advanced Settings section of the field:

  • Dependencies: worked_hours,x_break
  • Compute:
for record in self:
    if record['worked_hours'] and record['x_break']:
        record['x_netto_hours'] = record['worked_hours'] - record['x_break']
