It's an error that happen when I want to install the module, and after hours of search on the internet, hours of just reading Odoo's code... I was able to install and run the module but still getting this error
I get the following error when updating the Module I cant figure out how to add the config_ok, I tried the following but still didn't work
I added
but no luck
Field config_ok used in attrs.invisible ({'invisible': ['|', ('config_ok','=',True), ('product_variant_count', '<=', 1)]}) must be present in view but is missing.

Thank you in advance
There can be multiple reasons for this error:
If you haven't tried basic solution, first solution:
Activate developer mode
Open users and set filter to display
Inactive Set OdooBot as an internal user
Second solution: explicitly add xpath for missing field abov attribue xpath.
<xpath expr="//header/button[#name='action_update_quantity_on_hand']" position="before">
<field name="config_ok" />
</xpath>
Let me know, if any of above don't work.
I having some problem in Odoo
<record id="lunch_order_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">lunch.order.form</field>
<field name="model">lunch.order</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string='Orders Form' class="o_lunch">
<header>
<button name="%(action_lunch_order_line_lucky)d" type="action" string="Feeling Lucky" class="oe_highlight"/>
<!-- HERE THAT I WANT TO ADD -->
And then I use
<record id="lunch_order_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<xpath expr="/lunch/views/lunch_views/field[#name='arch']" position="after">
<button name="%(action_lunch_order_line_favorite)d" type="action" string="Favorite Menu" />
hello
</xpath>
</record>
but it now works how to define it?
If header is already define in your parent form view , you can inherit it as below:
<record id="lunch_order_view_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">lunch.order.form.inherit</field>
<field name="model">lunch.order</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="parent_form_module_name.lunch_order_view_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//header" position="inside">
<button name="%(action_lunch_order_line_favorite)d" type="action" string="Favorite Menu" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
You can replace parent_form_module_name with actual module name where you have define parent form.
I have tried so many ways to display "Offer Letter" button only when a customer is saved. But it seems i am not getting the condition right here:
<xpath expr="//form/*" position="before">
<header>
<button name="offer_letter" string="Offer Letter" type="object" class="oe_highlight"
attrs="{'invisible':[('what condition?')]}"/>
</header>
</xpath>
Below is my code snippet:
The Model:
class res_partner(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
baf = fields.Boolean("Application Form", help="Specify customer who bought application form")
#api.multi
def offer_letter_method(self):
return self.env['report'].get_action(self, 'sales_custom.offer_letter_view')
The View:
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="customer_custom_form_view">
<field name="name">customer.custom</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//form/*" position="before">
<header>
<button name="offer_letter" string="Offer Letter" type="object" class="oe_highlight"
attrs="{'invisible':[('what condition?')]}"/>
</header>
</xpath>
<xpath expr="//field[#name='name']" position="after">
<field name="baf"/>
<label for="baf"/>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
Kindly assist.
You should try as following :
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="customer_custom_form_view">
<field name="name">customer.custom</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//form/*" position="before">

You start your xpath expression with //notebook.
So your xpath selects all notebook elements, regardless of where they appear in the document.
But I don't see any xml tag that contains notebook.
This expression:
<xpath expr="//page[#string='Accounting']/group" position="replace"></xpath>
selects all the group elements under:
<page string="Accounting" groups="account.group_account_invoice">
I need to make an alternate tree view for res.partner.
This is my code
<record id="custom_res_partner_tree_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">CUSTOM</field>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field eval="1" name="priority"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<tree string="Contacts">
<field string="1" name="custom_field1"/>
<field string="2" name="custom_field2"/>
<field string="3" name="name"/>
<field string="4" name="street"/>
<field string="5" name="phone"/>
<field string="6" name="email"/>
</tree>
</field>
</record>
.......
<record model="ir.actions.act_window.view" id="custom_res_partner_tree_view_action">
<field eval="2" name="sequence"/>
<field name="view_mode">tree</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="custom_res_partner_tree_view"/>
<field name="act_window_id" ref="custom_res_partner_action"/>
</record>
The code above works, but it behaves like it inherits the original tree view. It shows the columns which I don't specify. How do I make a completely new tree?

Turns out the cause was because of this <field name="name">CUSTOM</field>. Coincidentally I changed content here to CUSTOM while in my original code it was still Customer. It somehow indicates that I inherited the original view. I don't know what's the purpose of the inherit_id then. But after I changed the name it works fine.
