[7.0] partner_firstname - creating a new partner doesn't set the displayed name if account module is installed

[Yannick Vaucher @ Camptocamp]

Creating a partner by setting a lastname will show a correct name in form but in kanban and list the name column will be empty

This occures when account_report_company is installed (auto installed with account)

The module account_report_company change the view and add a field "display_name" which is used in view instead of name.
This display_name is a function field which is triggered if name is change but not if firstname or lastname is change.

To fix this a link module between account_report_company and partner_firstname must be created.

I'm not 100% sure if I'm looking at the same bug.
I have res.partner kanban view displaying display_name which is stored in the database and is not updated when changing firstname or lastname.

my solution (added in partner_view.xml)
    <record id="res_partner_kanban_view" model="ir.ui.view">
      <field name="name">res.partner.kanban.firstname</field>
      <field name="model">res.partner</field>
      <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.res_partner_kanban_view"/>
      <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <xpath expr="//kanban/templates//div//div/h4" position="attributes">
                    <attribute name="invisible">1</attribute>
                </xpath>
                <xpath expr="//kanban/templates//div//div/h4" position="after">
                    <h4 class="oe_partner_heading"><a type="open"><field name="name"/></a></h4>
                </xpath>
      </field>
    </record>
