Automated x_name to show another field value

Question

How can I make x_name field automated show the name showing in many to one field instead of res.partner
My code was:

If not record.x_name:
record.write({
‘x_name’ : record.x_studio_employee
})

You should go one step further in the model. So either name or display_name.
Depending on the available fields
Or if it is a many2one field you want the id.

If not record.x_name:
record.write({
‘x_name’ : record.x_studio_employee .id
})
or
record.write({
‘x_name’ : record.x_studio_employee.name
})
