retrieving the value of a field from another model in Odoo

please I would like to know how I can get the value of a field from another model in Odoo 12. I have a contact class and another class where I want to get the phone number of the contact class and when I use the many2one relationship it brings me the email addresses and not the phone number. I specify any time that I inherited the contact class from Odoo and I added the telephone field in this class

Get value from another field in xml file in odoo :

<page string="Properties">
   <field name="property_ids" context="{'id':active_id}">
   <!-- key can be any, property type active id -->
       <tree>
           <field name="name" />
           <field name="price" />
           <field name="property_status" />
       </tree>
   </field>
</page>

For ex : if current model is property type, i want fields of real_Estate properties (which is another model), add this type of code to current model (here, property_type)

Here from code, property_ids field is available in property_type model, only then it works

You got emails because _rec_name is set to the email field. note that emails are just displayed names, the recipient field is a reference to a mail.mass_mailing.contact record.

To get a phone number instead of an email you can:

  • Override name_get to display phone_number: 

    def name_get(self):
    res_list = []
    for contact in self:
        res_list.append((contact.id, contact.phone_number))
    return res_list

    You can check if phone_number is empty and display another value instead.

  • Add a related field phone_number next to recipient field: 

    recipient= fields.Many2one(comodel_name= "mail.mass_mailing.contact", required = True)
phone_number = fields.Char(related='recipient.phone_number')
