[Bug 940264] Re: base_contact address required fields

 

OK then could we say that at least one of them must be non null.
If not, then we have a usability problem, as the record can be saved empty without the user noticing it (from the partner or the contact form, it is easy to create empty address records).

Title:
  base_contact address required fields

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  The new res.partner.address object defined in base_contact needs partner_id and contact_id to be required.
  In fact, this new res.partner.address actually represents a job of some contact at some company:
  - there is no point of creating a job record without knowing the references to both the person and its employer.
  - moreover, allowing all fields to be blank on this object is error prone and does rapidly clutter the address book with partial and/or duplicated records.

  For information, this is by opposition to the "original"
  res.partner.address object (defined in base) where there is no
  contact_id field and where partner_id may be intentionally left blank
  so that the address can be seen as a generic address unrelated to a
  company/partner.
