Propagate archiving via partner_multi_relation relations

Partner Multi Relation Archive Propagate

Partner Multi Relation Archive Propagate

This module extends the behaviour of partner_archive_propagate to also propagate archiving and unarchiving via partner_multi_relation relations.

When a company is archived:

• all related partners linked through relation types with propagate_archive = True are considered for propagation;

• related partners without active users are archived and marked with propagated_from_id pointing to the company;

• related partners linked to active users are skipped and listed in a message on the company.

When the company is unarchived, all partners that were archived because of it – whether through the partner hierarchy or through multi-relations – are restored automatically by the core partner_archive_propagate logic.

Non-company partners do not propagate via this module, even if they are involved in relations with propagate_archive = True.

Usage

1. Install the following modules:

   • partner_multi_relation

   • partner_archive_propagate

   • partner_multi_relation_archive_propagate (this module)

2. Configure relation types:

   • Go to Relation Types menu.

   • Create or edit a relation type.

   • Enable “Propagate archive” (propagate_archive) on the relation type(s) where archiving should cascade.

3. Create relations:

   • Link a company partner to other partners using the configured relation types.

4. Archive a company:

   • Use the “Archive Contact and Children” button (not the gear menu) to propagate archiving to related partners.

   • The wizard lists both hierarchy contacts and contact-type relation partners. Remove any row to exclude that partner from the operation.

   • All related partners reachable via relation types with propagate_archive = True will be treated like propagated descendants:

     • archived if possible,

     • skipped (and mentioned) if they have active users,

     • marked with propagated_from_id = <company>.

   Note

   The gear (⚙) Archive action archives only the company itself and never propagates to relation partners, regardless of the Force propagation outside UI setting.

5. Unarchive the company:

   • Unarchiving the company triggers the base partner_archive_propagate logic.

   • All partners (tree descendants or relation-based) that were archived because of this company (propagated_from_id) are unarchived and have the field cleared.
