[PS] Problem with duplication of custom object

[Harmel Delphine (OpenERP)]

trunk, revno 3377

* Administration > Customization > Database > Object, duplicate an existing object

Obtained result : the new object contains twice the fields of the duplicated object. Moreover it is impossible to create a menu entry for this duplicated object

Expected result : it creates a new object containing once each field and it is possible to create a menu entry for this duplicated object

Let me check that.
It is quite related to the "monster" patch in that part of the code.

Not really, IMHO. If the new model name and fields are not all prefixed by 'x_'
, we couldn't really duplicate the object. It may be safer to just forbid all.

That's because you may be missing commit: e3d74645dd7e
A new record for ir.model is created, but both of them still reference the
same ORM object, thus duplicating the fields on it.

Hello,

we should rename the fields, model names with "x_" when duplication occurs
Please share your views ?

Thanks

hello Harmel Delphine,

can you please try out with the latest revisions of server. As it seems to work as expected.

when ever we try to duplicate an existing object it will fire the constraint
''' new row for relation "ir_model_fields" violates check constraint "ir_model_fields_size_gt_zero" '''

where as If I create a new custom object and field then try to duplicate its easily being duplicated..

Correct me if I am missing something !

Thanks

hello,

I just tested with server revno 3461. It seems even worst.

* I create a custom object with 2 custom fields
* from this view I duplicate (CTRL-Shift-D)

Obtained result : it duplicates the last field of the custom object and if i look in the list view it duplicates also the object but with no field on it

Expected result : it duplicates the whole object (not the field on the custom object) with the correct fields

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

hello Harmel Delphine,

yes I too reproduced today with server on revision 3465 and I am confirming the issue too

Thanks,

This was fixed by the server-side correction of bug 789019 and merged in trunk at revision 3615 revid: <email address hidden>
Thanks!
