Hi,

Add a custom field such as unique_id on res.partner.Override the create() method on res.partner and generate the sequence when the field is empty. This works for both manual creation and CSV imports.

Hope it helps

Hello, 

Yes, this is possible, but not through the standard sequence behavior during CSV imports.

By default, sequence-generated IDs are usually assigned when contacts are created manually. For imported contacts, you can either:

• Include the unique reference values directly in your CSV before import, or
• Implement an automated action/customization that generates and assigns a sequence-based ID to contacts after they are imported.

This ensures every contact receives a unique reference even when created through bulk imports.

Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion.
