Hi all,

I am trying to find solution to add unique identifier for each contact that exists and that will be added in the future (db is v14). I had no luck so far, I see that here is some kind of solution but it's not explained https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/how-to-add-a-customer-id-64724

Can anyone please help. Thank you.

You can create sequence. 

Then you can assign this sequence using automated action  on create or edit or on change of specific field.

Hi,

See an sample use case with sequence and automated section generating unique barcode for products, similarly you can do for contacts in existing fields like or in new field.

Each contact already has an internal odoo id, so you could just create a new view on the contact showing that field.

I'm curious, how to get that field, what is its name?

Apiuser

I was thinking of 'id' when inside model 'res.user', but maybe there are other ids.
