Having 1 field displayed on the GUI does not means that you do not have 2
fields stored.
Your screenshots have neither no indication if they allow to mix partners
and contacts.

If you read correctly the Raphaël's posts, you will see that he does not
say that you need to display 2 fields. You can still display only 1.
But we have to ensure that the partner_id is always a partner and not
sometimes a partner and sometimes a contact.
