Hi everyone, in the Recruitment app, when configuring an automated email, I ran across the following templated expression for the "email_to" field:

{{ (not object.partner_id and object.email_from or '') }}


I noticed that this expression evaluates to object.email_from, which is the email of the applicant (I validated this because my test applicant received an email). However, I can't find any documentation to explain why it evaluated to this value; according to my programming kwowledge, this expression should evaluate to a Boolean (True or False) value, since it has AND and OR keywords.


If anyone could explain how dynamic placeholders are evaluated I'd be much appreciated! thanks.

You are totally right, a bit embarrassing for a Python programmer to have forgotten about this :D 

Thanks a lot!

Hi Fred: This is how python works. It's the pythonic way of saying,

if the record does not have a partner_id return email_from else return ''

You can test it by assigning the value of the expression to a variable and printing out it's value.
