votes

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)
