How to get the values of a popup view from another model?

Question

I am creating a button on the sale.order.line model when pressed open a popup window, this view is in stock.picking.form. The problem is that when I open the popup shows the blank form. And what I want is that the popup displays the data I enter in the sale.order.line form. For example : product name , quantity, customer name , etc...

This is my button in my view.xml:

<button name="action_stock_picking" string="Inventario" type="object" icon="fa-arrow-right"/>

And this is my button function that opens the popup:

@api.multi
def action_stock_picking(self):
    self.ensure_one()
    picking_form = self.env.ref('stock.view_picking_form', False)
    ctx = dict(
        default_model='stock.picking',
        default_res_id=self.id,
        default_composition_mode='comment',
        mark_invoice_as_sent=True,
    )
    return {
        'name': _('Formulario de Inventario: Recepciones'),
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'view_type': 'form',
        'view_mode': 'form',
        'res_model': 'stock.picking',
        'views': [(picking_form.id, 'form')],
        'view_id': picking_form.id,
        'target': 'new',
        'context': ctx,
    }

I was researching, and I think you should use the context attribute to pass data between views, but do not know much how to do this.

Indeed you can set default data using context. The syntax is simple :

default_fieldx : val

Example to set the default product name in your wizard add this line to your code

ctx = dict(
    default_name : self.name,
    default_model='stock.picking',
    default_res_id=self.id,
    default_composition_mode='comment',
    mark_invoice_as_sent=True,
)
