Dear Wizardz,
try this code
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
@api.onchange('invoice_payed')
def _check_change(self):
if self.invoice_payed:
date_1= (datetime.strptime(self.invoice_payed, '%Y-%m-%d')+relativedelta(days =+ 42))
self.pay_date =date_1
else:
self.pay_date =False

*I hope I helped you...*

I have fix it with that:
@api.onchange('invoice_payed')
def _check_change(self):
date_1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.invoice_payed, "%Y-%m-%d")
self.pay_date = date_1 + datetime.timedelta(days=42)

*Now when I create a new record it gives me this error:*
*date_1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.invoice_payed, "%Y-%m-%d")*
*TypeError: must be string, not bool*

self.invoice_payed , why is this a bool when I have a date field ?

Hi Wizardz,
if your date filed is empty (meaning you have not stored any value in it yet), the ORM will return False.
That's why, you must use the if self.invoice_payed to make sure the field contains a valid datetime value.

@api.onchange('invoice_payed')
def _check_change(self):
if self.invoice_payed:
date_1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.invoice_payed, "%Y-%m-%d")
self.pay_date = date_1 + datetime.timedelta(days=42)

Best regards
Yvan
