Hi,

I have a custom model which does NOT inherit res.partner or any other model.

It has a lot of fields, to which I have added two (2) many2one fields at the bottom:

class my_custom_model(models.Model):
    _name = 'my_custom_model'
    _description = 'Custom Model'      
   field1 = fields.Char('field1')
   field2 = fields.Char('field2')
   (field.......... many custom fields!!!)
   field99 = fields.Char('field99')
   m2o_name1 = fields.Many2one('res.partner', 'partner name 1')
   m2o_name2 = fields.Many2one('res.partner', partner name 2')

It works as expected, I can choose 2 partners for any record and save it.

My question is, how do I access other fields in the res.partner model from here?

For example: If I want to access partner 1 and partner 2 phone numbers and use in my custom code - something like:

Python:

partner1_phone = m20_name1.phone_number

partner2_phone = m20_name2.phone_number

Then use in XML in the standard way:

<field name="partner1_phone" "string"partner 1 phone number: " />
<field name="partner2_phone" "string"partner  2 phone number: "/>

Can this be done without inheriting res.partner in my custom model?

The my_custom_model has lots of custom fields that don't belong and are not required in the partner model.
I don't want to add all these fields to the res.partner model.

Is there an easy way for me to access the res.partner data based on the stored ids?
