Fill automatically some fields when customer enter a new record

Question

Hi everyone,

I have a new table with differents fields.
Inside the Customer View ( Sale), OpenERP users can create a new record.
However, I would like to fill automatically the two first fields:
- One is the name of the customer
- The other one is the date

Is it possible to do it? If yes, how?

Many thanks for your help,

Selverine

Hello Selverine
use defaults in field declaration like   def _selectCustomer(self):
Customer_id = Customer id you want to set default
return Customer_id
order_date = fields.Datetime('Order Date', default=fields.datetime.now())
customer_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', 'Customer', default=_selectCustomer)
