Hi, 

I'm trying to change the ouput of items in a Many2one field. By items

I mean the displayed values in the generated select box.

My field

company_contact_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', string='Company contact', required=False, ondelete='restrict')

Currently the output looks like this

Last_name First_name

And I want to change the order

First_name Last_name

I tried to do this using a compute method in my field declaration

compute='_compute_company_contact_id_name'

@api.depends('company_contact_id')

def _compute_company_contact_id_name(self):

 if self.company_contact_id :

  self.company_contact_id  = u'%s %s'.format(

    self.company_contact_id.first_name,

    self.company_contact_id.name
)

After that the field is not displayed anymore.

What is the correct way to do this ?

Thanks.
