Conversation
…and GIS reference fields
Summary of ChangesHello @emjay0921, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly improves the user experience and data entry clarity within the application by addressing previously unlabeled and undocumented fields. By adding clear labels and comprehensive help tooltips to key classification and GIS report reference data fields, users can now more easily understand the purpose and impact of the information they are providing, leading to more accurate data and reduced ambiguity.

Code Review
This pull request effectively addresses the missing labels and help tooltips in the Area form, significantly improving user experience and clarity. The changes in spp_area/views/area_base.xml and spp_gis_report/views/area_views.xml add necessary context for several fields. I've provided a couple of suggestions to further enhance consistency and maintainability.

For consistency with other parts of the application (e.g., spp_gis_report/__manifest__.py which uses km²), consider using the squared symbol for square kilometers. This is a more standard and concise representation.

While adding these descriptive help tooltips in the view is a great improvement for usability, it's a best practice in Odoo development to define them on the model fields themselves (in spp_gis_report/models/area_ext.py). This ensures consistency across all views where these fields might be used and centralizes the documentation.
Consider moving these improved help texts to the model definitions. For example, in area_ext.py:
population = fields.Integer(
"Population",
help="Total population from census or official estimate. Used for per-capita normalization in GIS reports.",
)1 participant
Why is this change needed?
The Classification group in the Area form was displaying fields (Admin Level, Area Type, Area sq km) without visible labels, making it unclear what the values represent. Additionally, the Reference Data for GIS Reports fields lacked descriptive help tooltips to explain their purpose and how they are used in GIS report normalization.
How was the change implemented?
