Ruud Riem-Vis, The behavior you are describing is not a limition (and not a bug). The intended usage of the field 'category' on the search view is to filter on a specific category.
The search view is specified at openerp/addons/base/res/partner/partner_view.xml:342 and use, purposefuly, a simple 'field' element. It is possible to get the behavior you want by changing the search view and using an attribute operator="child_of". Well, actually it works for many2one fields but the category on a partner is a many2many and a bug exists. The proposed patch above should correct that. -- 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/740799 Title: [filtering] does not support hierarchy Status in OpenERP Server: Fix Committed Bug description: In v6, the filtering cannot be performed on "view"-type items in the category field of a partner for example. Consider the following case: Define partner categories as follows: man man->thin man->thick woman woman->thin woman->thick Now if you have a set of partners, you can define a filter on "thin", on "thick" but not on "man" or "woman" or "woman thick". This means that you cannot find back a thin woman in a filter for example. I believe this is an unwanted limitation of the filter mechanism. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
