Just like mentioned in [Create triggers are not executed when user is 0](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/create-triggers-are-not-executed-when-user-is-0/1390) the root use does not execute triggers. However as currently cron jobs are executed as root it means that triggers are not fired in cron jobs.
Is that intended? Has anyone faced the same problem?
