Hello, everybody!

I am new at Odoo, and I am trying to make my custom module talk to the contacts' module to grab useful information for a mailing list. Below you will find the code of my solution.

Question: Is there a better way of getting the "name" field from the contact list, and together with it, automatically, the "email" field? I feel that my solution is hard to maintain and not very good for the job. Please let me know if there is a better way to do this, and thank you in advance!

models.py

​from odoo import models, fields, api

class MailingList(models.Model):
    _name = 'mailing_list.mailing_list'
_description = 'Exercise #1 of Task #12'

name = fields.Many2one('res.partner', string='Name')
    email = fields.Char(string='Email')

    @api.model
def create(self, vals):
        if vals.get('name'):
            partner = self.env['res.partner'].browse(vals['name'])
            vals['email'] = partner.email

        result = super(MailingList, self).create(vals)
        return result

    def write(self, vals):
        print("\n\tYou are on the method write override")
        print("\tEnd of method write override\n")
        
        if vals.get('name'):
            partner = self.env['res.partner'].browse(vals['name'])
            vals['email'] = partner.email

        result = super(MailingList, self).write(vals)
        return result
