You can use the after_migrate hook in your app’s hooks.py file. This hook is executed after migrations are applied, making it a suitable place to check for and create the required Task Types.

Here’s how you can implement it:

Steps to Add Task Types Using after_migrate

  1. Define the after_migrate Hook:
    In your app’s hooks.py file, include the after_migrate hook and point it to a custom method.

    after_migrate = "your_app.utils.create_task_types"

  2. Write the create_task_types Function:
    In a Python file (e.g., your_app/utils.py), write the function that checks if the Task Types exist and creates them if they don’t.

    import frappe

def create_task_types():
    required_task_types = ["Design", "Development", "Testing", "Deployment"]

    for task_type in required_task_types:
        if not frappe.db.exists("Task Type", task_type):
            # Create the Task Type
            doc = frappe.get_doc({
                "doctype": "Task Type",
                "task_type": task_type
            })
            doc.insert(ignore_permissions=True)
            frappe.db.commit()

Optional Way: Use Fixtures
