CRM Lead/Opportunity Category : new entry disappears! (missing context)

[Mike]

Using version v6.0.0-rc1. Windows All In One.

When you goto Sales->Configuration->Leads & Opportunitys->Categories and Click New
Upon creation of a new category it will 'dissapear' within the system.
Upon examination of the database table crm_case_categ it is creating the case row in the database but the object_id and section_id are not set hence the category is failing to appear on the categories list or within the lead.

The following modules are installed.

This is due to object_id field being put in 'invisible' mode.
Thanks for reporting.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for reporting,
It has been fixed in trunk:
revision no: 4447
revision-id: <email address hidden>
BTW the problem was not due to missing/invisible object_id!
Thanks

[Richard (John) Nopkins@Servosoft (richard-nopkins)]

i steal disagree.
look at the code
A. 'crm_case_categ-view', bad naming convention, might be 'form' should add.
B. network traffic added by passing context.why fix by contaxt? we solved it by removing invisible atribute
C. 'exclusif': fields.boolean('Exclusive'). do the word exclusif exist?

sory for my bad english :D :D

[Olivier Dony (Odoo) (odo-openerp)]

Hello,

B. We think the object_id field is an implementation detail that should be hidden to end-users, as most newcomers will be confused by this [seemingly redundant] field. Don't worry about the few bytes added to the network packets, this is negligible, we're not counting bytes there :-) What matters is the number of requests and the time it takes to process them on server-side.

A. and C. : I agree, and these are worth a separate wishlist bug or a merge proposal with the fix, but I think they are unrelated to the bug at hand.

Thank you for your feedback! :-)
