Dear community, 

Partner title (res.partner.title) management in v.4 and v.5 is the source of lot of problems, limitation and error :

	- Title are field selection value that are hard to translate, especially in wizard context.
	-You can not have different title title with the same shortcut, this generate strange behavior in GTK client
	-It is hard to migrate, particularly when the user customize the title s
	-If a title shortcut is modified all the addresses linked to the shortcut are not modified, worst the title did not appear anymore in linked addresses.
	-etc.

The problem is design oriented as the link between title and addresses / partner is not a standard ORM link but use a strange word matching.
It would be great to standardize this point and transform this point in an orm relation. The choice of using a selection field does not worth/justify the troubles and user anger when strange behavior appears. (And the work of the partner to fix all the stuff  ^_^ )

I know it will mean some migration work from 5 to 6 but the result will worth it.

I'm looking for your advice.

Regards

Nicolas
