Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
On our Windows Server Odoo instance I use date.today() to set the default of the date to, well, today. However, this morning we realized that the date was off, but the date of the server was correct. I restarted the server and the date in Windows did NOT change, however, the Odoo module default date did. What gives?
The line of code is as follow (no errors though)
'order_date': fields.date(string='Date', default=date.today())
date.today() returns a value, so the python interpreter thinks that you want set a constant to default value.
Use lambda function to avoid this:
default = lambda self: fields.Date.today()
Even on a linux machine this happens. Maybe it's the version I am using, but updating the custom app date.today() requires a restart everytime.
Check your Timezone configuration on users
That wasn't it. Timezones via Odoo and Windows machine all match. Now the date is staying the same as my restart date. Maybe it has something to do with the module being instantiated on that date.
