OD106 name-get-deprecated¶

name_get() is ignored; override _compute_display_name().

What it reports¶

A model class that defines a name_get() method, in a module of series 17.0 or later.

Why it matters¶

From 17.0, the name Odoo shows for a record is the computed field display_name, and _compute_display_name() fills it. The ORM and the web client no longer call name_get(), so an override of it raises no error and changes nothing: many2one fields, breadcrumbs and search results keep showing the default name. In 17.0, name_get() survives only as a deprecated method that reads display_name; from 18.0 it is gone, so code that still calls it raises AttributeError. Such calls are not reported by this rule.

Modules of earlier series are not checked, since name_get() is the right method there. Put the fields the name reads in @api.depends, so the name is recomputed when they change.

Example¶

class ResPartner(models.Model):
    _inherit = "res.partner"

    def name_get(self):
        return [(partner.id, f"{partner.name} [{partner.ref}]") for partner in self]

Nothing calls this method from 17.0, so partners keep their plain name.

class ResPartner(models.Model):
    _inherit = "res.partner"

    @api.depends("name", "ref")
    def _compute_display_name(self):
        for partner in self:
            partner.display_name = f"{partner.name} [{partner.ref}]"
