PURPOSE
Avoid automatic partner finding and update on lead to erase too much data.
RATIONALE
On crm.lead, the address fields, email_from and phone, are computed field
since saas-13.3 based on the partner_id. Previously they were synchronized
with an onchange on partner_id which was never triggered during automatic
flows on the lead.
Now computed field are triggered each time the partner_id is written.
Problems
- If someone uses the mass conversion with the action "Use existing partner
or create", the partner is found for each lead with the method
_find_matching_partner. This method can find any partner with a name that
contains the lead name, the lead contact_name or partner name. It can find
wrong partner. Previously, only the partner was changed and the contact
information remained on the lead. Now, all the information are erased with
the wrong partner information.
- If at creation all the address information are set and the partner_id
as well, the address field from the partner won't be synchronized.
The lead will end up with the address information we forced.
During the conversion to opportunity, the partner_id defined on the
lead, will be written again. It will trigger the synchronization
of the address field on the lead. Those info can be incomplete or wrong
You will end up with a data loss.
SPECIFICATIONS
Tell _find_matching_partner to match partner only based on exact email address
in the case of mass convert. Avoid fuzzy matching based on name likeliness.
During opportunity conversion, don't write the partner_id if the partner is
already the one set on the lead.
