In the Account and Finance module i want to add a new field but do not want to change the current form view and also I don't want to override it. I know to create a new class and declare _inherit attribute, declare new fields there, but i think it will override the original form view.
I want both(original and inherited) form view to appear so that i can choose them based on my requirements. Is it possible?
(I desire to add discounts field in my inherited form view)
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I created custom fields in Odoo v15.
PROBLEM
Now I would like to add them to invoice template.
How I could do it?
You need to inherit the form view (account.invoice.form) and add your custom fields to the view. Or if you want to test the view you can enable debug mode and click "Edit FormView" at the top right of your form view to (temporarily) edit the form view directly.
See my example below:
<record id="account_invoice_form_custom" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">account.invoice.form.custom</field>
<field name="model">account.invoice</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.invoice_form" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<field name="partner_id" position="after">
<field name="custom_field"/>
</field>
</field>
</record>
I want to add a couple of extra fields to the product form, right after 'standard_price'.
I created a view that inherits from "product.product_template_form_view" and added my fields there:
<field name="standard_price" position="after">
<field name="my_field" />
</field>
I then restart odoo updating the module, but I don't see my new fields when I call the product form.
The fields appear on the database model (created inherited models also), but not on the user interface.
What I'm missing here?
Check these things:
Inherited from correct base form product.template.common.form
Make sure you are looking at correct form for product.template (Product), not product.product (Product Variant).
Do you see the input field without caption in edit mode? If this is the case, you can have broken structure in the html level. Next bullet will solve this.
Standard_price field has unique html structure because it can have unit of measure (uom) connected to it. Try connecting to simple field or use the container div standard_price_uom for connection, see template code below.
Template code for working view with a new field after standard_price_uom div:
<div name='standard_price_uom' position="after">
<field name="my_field" />
</div>
If these does not help, please provide whole view definition.
Make sure you use the correct model. Use product.template instead of product.product.
<record id="product_template_form" model ="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">product.template.form</field>
<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<field name="standard_price" position="after">
<field name="my_field"/>
</field>
</field>
</record>
...
class ProductTemplate(models.Model):
_inherit = "product.template"
my_field = fields.Char()
Make sure you have added your XML file into your module’s __manifest__.py file. Odoo only pulls in XML from files that you tell it to.
You can see examples of this on any core modules. See sale/__manifest__.py for an example.
On your module, it would be something like this:
{
...
‘data’: [
‘views/form/form_product.xml’,
]
...
}
I have tested it in Odoo 12.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
<record id="view_product_template_common_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">product.template.common.form.inherit</field>
<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//div[#name='standard_price_uom']" position="after">
<label for="my_field" string="My Field"/>
<div>
<field name="my_field"/>
</div>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>

I have following QWeb element:
<record id="extended_res_partner" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Extended View</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<notebook position="inside">
<page string="Foo" name="foo" attrs="{'invisible': [('is_customer', '=', False),]}">
<field name="is_customer" invisible="1"/>
<span>Foo2</span>
</page>
</notebook>
</field>
</record>
But it does not work. I get:
Field `is_customer` does not exist
If I remove attrs=... it works fine.
Even that you didn't provide the error message but this will work only if the the form view if for res.partner but i'm assuming that the form is for another model that have a many2one relation with res.partner in this case you need to create a related field in the model.
partner_id = ......
is_customer = fields.Boolean(related='partner_id.is_customer', readonly=True)
Then you need to add this field to the form view because attrs is client side feature it need the value in form in order to work.
<page string="foo" name="foo" attrs="{'invisible': [('is_customer', '=', False),]}">
<field name="is_customer" invisible="1"/>
<span>Foo2</span>
</page>
Note: if the form view is for res.partner just add the field to the form view because as I said is a client side operation it will not call the server to know what is the value of that field you need to pass it.
I need to override account.account_aged_balance_view in order to hide a field (Period Length (days)) as well add new field in the same time.
I tried the following in my custom module view:
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="account_aged_balance_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Aged Partner Balance</field>
<field name="model">account.aged.trial.balance</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.account_aged_balance_view" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Report Options">
<separator string="Aged Partner Balance"/>
<label string="Dariel Partner Balance is a more detailed report of your receivables by intervals. When opening that report, Odoo asks for the name of the company, the Start Date and the size of the interval to be analyzed (in days). Odoo then calculates a table of credit balance by start Date. So if you request an interval of 30 days Odoo generates an analysis of creditors for the past month, past two months, and so on. "/>
<group col="4">
<field name="date_from"/>
<newline/>
<field name="result_selection" widget="radio"/>
<field name="target_move" widget="radio"/>
</group>
<field name="journal_ids" required="0" invisible="1"/>
</form>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
those XML appended to the modal form instead of replacing the original form, like shown in the image.
so, am I doing it right (ofcourse it's not right) or how the proper way of doing it?
You can both replace the whole form view or remove and add only the fields you want. You have to use the xpath to do that.
To replace the whole view:
<record id="account_aged_balance_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Aged Partner Balance</field>
<field name="model">account.aged.trial.balance</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.account_aged_balance_view" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr='//form' position='replace'>
< your form view >
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
Or you can remove only what you don't want and add what you want with:
<record id="account_aged_balance_view" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Aged Partner Balance</field>
<field name="model">account.aged.trial.balance</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.account_aged_balance_view" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr='//field[#name="period_length"]' position='replace'/>
<xpath expr='//field[#name=" < name of the field you want to put yours after > "]' position='after'>
<field name=' < your field name > '/>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
I did not try it, but it should work.
I have created few custom fields for products.Products appear in sales,purchase,warehouse and manufacturing module.I want to make my custom fields appear only in manufacturing module and hide everywhere else.So how to put condition on invisible attribute.I tried like this and got error as Unknown field _name in domain
attrs="{'invisible': [('_name', '!=', 'mrp.bom')]}"
Python file,
from openerp import fields,models, api
class product_template(models.Model):
_inherit = "product.template"
rim_weight = fields.Float(string='Rim Weight(KG)', readonly=True, compute='_compute_one_rim_weight')
width = fields.Float(string='Width(cm)',default='50')
length = fields.Float(string='Length(cm)',default='63')
gsm = fields.Float(string='Gram per square meter(gsm)',default='230')
Xml file,
<record id="product_template_form_view_dis_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">product.template.common.form.dis.inherit</field>
<field name="model">product.template</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//page[#string='Accounting']" position='after'>
<page string='Cover Page Paper'>
<group>
<field name="width"/>
<field name="length"/>
<field name="gsm"/>
<field name="rim_weight"/>
</group>
</page>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
There are many ways to do this, however I suggest following options to you.
Modify an existing action and set context inside that and based on that context just write condition in view. (Remember here you need to override an action, and if you want to create another then you need to redefine menu to assign new action to that menu).
Create new view and set this view reference in an action of that model in which you want to show these fields. In new view you need to visible those fields, no need to extend product template existing view.
However the 1st solution is easy to achieve and 2nd one is lengthy.
Example of 1st solution:
<record id="action_name" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Name</field>
<field name="res_model">product.template</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
<field name="context" eval="{'is_manufacturing_model':True}" />
</record>
And then in view just write like this
<page string='Cover Page Paper'>
<group invisible="context.get('is_manufacturing_model',False)">
<field name="width"/>
<field name="length"/>
<field name="gsm"/>
<field name="rim_weight"/>
<group>
</page>
