The portal view for tasks previously listed all task of all projects
without grouping them. It was a problem, mainly when we want to make
the distinction on project label_tasks, to make the difference
between tasks, issues, ... Grouping task by project by default allows
to show the label_tasks before each project.
Grouping the tasks removes the possibility to define a primary
ordering. We want to be able to ungroup the tasks in some cases.
The implentation was done in the portalsearch bar adding
a group by option. The portal proposes two grouping options,
project (by default) and none (to keep strict ordering).
Task: #1827950
PR #23769
Odoo 11 comes with unified features for Project Tasks and Project
Issues. Specifically, issues were retro-fitted into tasks, and saw their
specific features added to the features of tasks.
During this refactoring, the portal controller for issues was superseded
by a unified portal controller for tasks, via
623ea43268
One case was lost in the process: portal visibility of
tasks/issues/things that are individually followed by customers, without
the customer following the project itself.
This is important for `transversal` projects, such as a "Helpdesk"
project common to all customers, where each customer only sees their own
issues.
This commit restores the feature, previously added to issues by
1cc8252a95
Note: this clearly requires a proper regression test, to be added soon.
