Programmatically add default data to custom module - Odoo v9 community

I have a custom module, which inherits fleet.vehicle.log.services model

This is a custom module.

What I'm trying to do, is to add default data to just two fields of it, let me explain myself.

The model has these mandatory fields:

vehicle_id
cost_id
cost_type

And I've inherited/added these ones:

x_location_src_id
x_location_dest_id

These are stock locations, what I want is to add default stock locations to this model, but just the locations, not the mandatory fields.

So far, I've tried like this, in my data/location_data.xml file:

<record id="location_default" model="fleet.vehicle.log.services">
    <field name="vehicle_id">1</field>
    <field name="cost_id">2</field>
    <field name="cost_type">fuel</field>
    <field name="x_location_src_id">ReparacionUnidades</field>
    <field name="x_location_dest_id">ReparacionUnidades</field>
</record>

But it doesn't work for me, because, as I've said, I don't need the first three fields, just the last two ones.

So, as this is the only way to add default data by QWeb/XMl, I think there is a way to overcome this, by some attributes or maybe programmatically with python.

Do You have a clue on how to do it in some other way?

As I said, I want to bypass the fact that I have to add these other fields, because it makes no sense to me.

Any ideas?

Maybe some logic or attributes into stock.locations and not directly into this fleet.vehicle.log.services model?

In the new api you can override the field from the inherited model and assign a default value either using a static value or a function. Here is an example

class Partner(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'res.partner'

ASSIGNING A STATIC DEFAULT VALUE

    email = fields.Char(default='[email protected]')

ASSIGNING A PROGRAMMATIC DEFAULT VALUE

    def _email_default(self):
        return '[email protected]'

    email = fields.Char(default=_email_default)

Using the old api you can do something similar, using a different syntax.

class Partner(osv.osv):
    _inherit = 'res.partner'

    _columns = {
        'email': fields.char('Email')  
    }

PROGRAMMATIC MEANS OF ASSIGNING DEFAULT VALUE

    def _email_default(self, cr, uid, ctx={}):
        return '[email protected]'

    _defaults = {
        'email': _email_default,
    }

STATIC METHOD OF ASSIGNING A DEFAULT VALUE

    _defaults = {
        'email': '[email protected]',
    }
