[16.0] [ADD] Project Portal Custom Field Access

[ivantodorovich]

Odoo has a feature called "Project Sharing" that allows portal users to view a project's kanban, which has functionalities similar to the backend system.

There's a preset list of fields that portal users can access, which is harcoded in the module's source code.

That's nice but inconvinient if a user introduces new fields to the form and wants to share these with the portal users. They can't currently do this without using a Python override.

To resolve this, the module lets users whitelist these custom fields directly through the ir.model.field model.

How do you think if we add an option to choose READABLE or WRITEABLE? It may be useful in case of user wants to show only information for the collaborators like Milestone field.

The milestone_id is a core field, and it's already exposed: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/492169bf562768f661727d6387c5e47bee700d9e/addons/project/models/project.py#L49

The purpose of this module is to be able to expose custom fields (those created through the UI, those that start with x_). All other code-defined fields can be exposed through custom modules :) this module is not useful there

I do take your point to be able to choose between read-only and read-and-write. It would be a nice improvement, though it's not required by our project at the moment

I think you misunderstood me about milestone_id. I wanted to mention was in case of user wants to create custom fields through UI and he wants to make only readable for collaborators(I mentioned milestone_id as an example of readonly for collaborator). Whatever you got my point.
