I'm creating a 8.0 module and want to create this record in an xml if the record hasn't already been created by anyone else:
<record id="bg" model="res.partner.bank.type">Is there a way in xml to have this conditioned like "if not 'bg' in res.partner.bank.type" the go ahead an create the record, else do nothing!
<field name="name">Bankgiro</field>
<field name="code">bg</field>
</record>
The thing is, there's another module that creates this record but I don't want to depend on that module just for this. And I don't want to create duplicate records like it does right now.
if all your modules shares similar identical information, it might be wiser to do build a base module of yours, and make other modules depend on it. so you will have no conflict with any.
