Hi I have been developing a custom openerp module. I have created a button in my field and I have also declared an acvtion for it. But I am getting an error " 'my_form' object has no attribute 'add_field' "?

here is myform_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>

        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="from_view_form">
            <field name="name">form.view.form</field>
            <field name="model">my.form</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form string="Form" version="7.0">
                    <group>
                        <field name="name" />
                        <field name="project" />
                        <button name="add_field" string="Add Field" type="object" />
                    </group>
                </form>
            </field>
        </record>

        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="from_view_tree">
            <field name="name">form.view.tree</field>
            <field name="model">my.form</field>

                </tree>
            </field>
        </record>    

        <record model='ir.actions.act_window' id='add_field'>

    _name = "my.form"
    _description = 'Formview Module'
    _columns = {

hi, Provide the whole exception trace here. I can not see where the error belongs to — theAlse
I have mentioned the error above . The error occurs when I click the button — Arsalan Sherwani
Is this your first time asking a question! Provide the whole stack trace, what you are giving us is "'my_form' object has no attribute 'add_field'". but in what line? — theAlse

there must have add_field method in your object like i.e class my_form(osv.osv):

    _name = "my.form"
    _description = 'Formview Module'
    _columns = {
        'name': fields.char('Name', size=64),
        'project': fields.char('Project', size=64),
        'image': fields.binary('Image'),
        'file':fields.binary('attach file')
    }

    def add_field(self, cr, uid, ids, context={}):
        #YOUR CODE
        return True
`
