The write_date trigger is missing in automated actions

[Yann Papouin]

Actually you can use 5 triggers to run an automated action (base_action_rule)

'none', 'None'
'create', 'Creation Date'
'action_last', 'Last Action Date'
'date', 'Date'
'deadline', 'Deadline'

I think that the most important one, the write_date is missing as it would allow to send an email after each changes.

nb: What's the difference between an automated mail action and a server mail action ? (I'm asking this because the email syntax format is not the same: server action is using [[object.name]] whereas automated actions have their own keywords "%(object_id)s = Object ID")

Hello Yann,

This is not a bug but it's improvement So I am considering this as a "Wishlist".

For about your question : The automated action are CRM specific and Sever action is Global can be used any where with automated action you can add server action that is quite possible but in Sever action you can not add the automated action.

Thanks

Hello Yann,

Here you can find a module I just made, you might be interested:

lp:c2c-addons/6.0

module action_rule_trg_dates

It changes the selection list of date by a one2many dynamicaly filtered on the selected model of your automated action.

In short it let you use all dates or datetime of any model.

Regards.
Yannick

Thank you Yannick, that's a really good module that I'm now using on 6.1.
You implementation is really good to use any existing date.
