[16][IMP] Contract: Smart Button "Contracts" not displayed on Contact until an invoice is published

[fcvalgar]

Module
contract

Describe the bug

The "Contracts" smart button on the contact form view does not appear when a contract is created and in progress. It only becomes visible after an associated invoice is published.

To Reproduce

Affected versions: Odoo 16

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Create a contract for a contact.
• Set the contract to "in progress" status.
• Go to the contact's form view to check for the "Contracts" smart button.

Expected behavior:

• The "Contracts" smart button should be displayed on the contact form as soon as there is an active contract, regardless of whether there is a published invoice.

Additional context This issue limits the ability to view ongoing contracts directly from the contact form unless an invoice has been published.

Hello @OCA/project-service-maintainers !

Do you agree in this improvement? 😄

Let me know please! ❤️

Thank you!

@rafaelbn This is due to :

So the customer_rankshould be updated when we create a contract IMHO (that's logical). But IMHO too, we should not rely on customer rank to display the smart button.
