duplicating a user duplicates all employee data

[Dan Mendes]

On a fresh installation of OpenERP nightly -latest.exe

I installed Employee Directory module.

After creating an additional user and employee data, where user1 is user2 manager, if user1 is duplicated so will user2 in the human resources module. Is this intended? I want to duplicate a user because of access rights, but I don't want to duplicate any employee data.

1) Steps to reproduce the issue you have observed
1.1) Install Employee Directory module
1.2) Create a user1 under settings users
1.3) Create an employee under human resources employee
1.3.1) Related user is user1, manager is administrator.
1.4) In settings/users create a duplicate user of administrator

Note: Duplicating the administrator again will create 2 more copies of everything... so it's 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc... if there are 2 levels (that is if we create a user2, that has manager user1) with just 5 copies of administrator we have over 200 employees created.

2) The result you observed
A user is created in human resources employee and also all users that have administrator as manager are duplicated.

3) The result you expected
Create a user and not affect the Human Resources Employee data

4) The platform you are using (and browser version, if relevant)
Windows, Chrome

5) The OpenERP version you are using (e.g. 6.1.1-20120910-233309), if possible including the specific revision (e.g. r.2824) if you use the source repositories.
Version 7.0-20131129-002434

Note: After uninstalling the Employee module it can't be installed again, it outputs error regarding hr.job duplication.

Forgot to mention if you then go to settings and delete user, in Human Resources Employee users are not deleted.

Thanks for the detailed bug report, Dan!

I have confirmed this on the latest 7.0 source code. Basically the `hr` module defines several one2many relationships that do not represent a regular parent-child relation, and does not correctly take care of discarding those relationships during copy/duplicate operations.

These 2 relationship must be explicitly discarded during copy():
- res.users.employee_ids
- hr.employee.child_ids
