Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
Just as the title says. Imported contacts and they all defaulted to Businesses and I would like a work around to avoid manually changing each one.
I noticed a similar post for applying a company name/tag across multiple contacts by using developer mode in List View and hope there is a similar work around.
Thanks for your help.
Hi;
Follow the next steps:
1. Export contacts for which you need to change the type.
Check the "I want to update data (import-compatible export)" checkbox
And select only the "Company Type" field
2. In the generated file, set all company_type to “Company”, save the changes
3. Import the file back into the system
Hope this is helpful
Thank you for your detailed and timely reply.
This was very close to exactly what I needed. I followed your instructions, except when it came to "company_type" I selected "is_company" instead and replaced all instances of TRUE with FALSE. Worked like a charm. I apologize if my meaning wasn't clear, but I find your method to be much more user friendly. Thanks again!
@Yaroslav: I tried this method but ended up with all double contacts. How do I avoid this from happening? I can't seem to undo the import so now I've got all my contacts existing as an Individual ànd as a company. Merging only seems to work manually?
