Concatenate two fields in a third one

Question

Hello,
In my contacts I want to add a field wich combines the field  "name" of the contact and the field "zip".
Should i do that with an automated action or in any other way ?

Thank you four your help.

You have to inherit the class and define the new field:

from odoo import fields, api, models
class ResPartner(models.Model):
_inherit = "res.partner"
​zip_name = fields.Char("Custom Name", compute='_compute_zip_name')
​@api.depends('name', 'zip')
​def _compute_zip_name(self):
​ 	 ​for r in self:
​ 	 ​ 	 ​r.zip_name = # the logic u want for combination

Hey Edouard,
you can approach this via automated action and concatenate that fields on creating or updating the record.
But normally automated actions are not suggested if you can code it.
Via Code you can just
new_field = fields.Char(string="new_field", compute="_concat_name_zip")
@api.depends('name','zip')
def _concat_name_zip(self):
​for record in self:
​ 	 ​record.new_field = record.name + record.zip

Best Regards
