Unable to update sequence prefix

[Khurram Shahzad]

Hi all,

I changed the prefix of a sequence in its xml file available in data directory. I updated the module but I am unable to get the changed prefix of the sequence. System is still using the old prefix on the sequence. Do I have to change some other file besides of the xml file containing the sequence?

Never ever change XML file.
If you need to customize a sequence created via XML, you can just edit
it from the client.

By the way, on the update of the module, trytond has probably warned you
that it could not update the sequence record.

Never ever change XML file.
If you need to customize a sequence created via XML, you can just edit
it from the client.

When I try to update the sequence from the client, I get the following error:

'You are not authorized to modify this record. This record is the part of base configuration'.

Using client, I am trying to update from 'Administration -> Sequences -> Sequences'.

Should I set the 'noupdate' flag to '0' in the xml file where the sequence is defined?

By the way, on the update of the module, trytond has probably warned you
that it could not update the sequence record.

Khurram.

Which sequence is it?

It is 'Inpatient Registration' sequence of the GNU Health. We want to change the prefix from 'INPAC' to 'IPD-'.

This is a mistake in GNU Health.
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/health/file/8f854e27f596/tryton/health_inpatient/data/health_inpatient_sequence.xml#l12
If sequence are created via XML, it should never define any prefix or
suffix if you want to provide customization to the user.

You must fill an issue to GNU Health (if you can). Before I could have
fixed it but I have been banned from this project.

Dear Cedric,

Thank you so much for your valuable time. What is the recommended way of defining sequences which can also be customized using client?

Regards,

Khurram.

Like that: http://hg.tryton.org/modules/party/file/tip/party.xml#l103
It could also been put under date noupdate attribute if you want to
allow user to delete it.

Thank you so much.

I have worked out a solution to this problem: Delete the record in ir_property table corresponding to this sequence and then update the module. It will re-create the record in ir_property and the prefix/suffix updated value will be used.
