inherit import method

Question

Hello

is there a way to inherit the import method,

I need to import records into timesheet, and map one of the imported fields to relational field in timesheet like Employee, while the mapping will be based on other identity field like email or external id.
In other words, I want to import timesheet records from xlsx file and map the employee by email instead of map by employee name or Id

it is possible redefine the import method ??

Thanks

You can override load method of ORM which is call and create data during import.
If you have concern regarding only employee with search base on email then you can override name_search method and search with email field too. So it will automatically set/search employee base on email too.

You can create a function that reads the excel file and add a new column(employee name or id) which matches the related employee from its existing email , then you can import the excel file as odoo standard do.
