How to create a unique ID/ Reference ID for all the contacts after uploading a CSV file?

Question

I want all my contacts to have a unique ID so that it will be easy to identify. I tried adding sequence but it only works when trying to create new contacts manually by clicking NEW contact option. I have contacts data in my CSV file. I want ODDO to automatically create a unique ID after I import. Is it possible?

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
