have you heard about the KISS principle? it means just "keep it stupid simple"!! of course you can write a "module" for each field actually, but is that really a solution? i feel that there is already an overkill with over 600 "modules", in the trunk +extra. however, for a field in a table which NEVER gets large (the no. of currencies is relatively small and constant) i see no issue in just adding it. just a thought, of course regards, bogdan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709201 Title: No "code" field in "res.currency" object Status in Aeroo Reports for Open ERP: Confirmed Status in OpenERP Modules (addons): Invalid Status in OpenOffice.org Reporting Engine for OpenObject: Confirmed Bug description: There is no code field in the res.currency object, which used to hold ISO 4217 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217) code for the currency. ISO code is the only referable code for a currency, any other name is just user friendly representation and may vary from country to country, still they are not official names of the currency. Please do not disregard this defect as many modules depend on this code do find correct currency in a system. This defect is present in whole OpenERP's 6th version branch. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
