Copy Manager to Task
Automatically copies the project manager to the task responsible on new task creation — ensuring every task has an owner from the very first moment.
by Majorbird — Odoo Silver Partner
Engine: mjb_field_copy_ruleThe Problem
New tasks are created without a responsible person assigned. Project managers must manually assign themselves or a team member to every task — a step that is repetitive and often forgotten. Unowned tasks accumulate, get ignored, and slip through the cracks, putting project delivery dates at risk.
How It Works
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | project.task |
| Trigger | On task creation |
| Condition | Task has no responsible assigned (user_ids empty) |
| Action | Copies project.user_id → task.user_ids |
| Frequency | Once per task creation |
Key Features
Auto-Assign on Task Creation
The project manager is copied to the task responsible field the moment a new task is created — zero manual steps required.
No Orphaned Tasks
Every task in a managed project has an owner from the start, preventing tasks from being silently ignored or missed in reviews.
Standard Field Copy Engine
Uses the proven mjb_field_copy_rule engine — reliable, lightweight, and consistent with other Majorbird automation modules.
Community Edition Compatible
Works fully on Odoo Community 19.0. No Enterprise licence required.
Configuration
- 1 Install mjb_copy_project_manager_to_task from the Apps menu.
- 2 mjb_field_copy_rule installs automatically as a dependency — no manual setup needed.
- 3 Ensure each project has a Project Manager assigned under Project → Settings.
- 4 New tasks created in those projects automatically inherit the project manager as the responsible person.
Scope & Limitations
- Copies project manager to task user_ids on creation only
- Does NOT overwrite an existing responsible if already set on the task
- Does NOT reassign responsible when a task is transferred between projects
- Requires mjb_field_copy_rule engine module
This is the initial release. The module covers the core auto-assign use case on task creation. Your feedback is welcome — if you need reassignment on project transfer, multi-manager support, or stage-based triggers, let us know through the Odoo support channel.
