Odoo SAAS: Add field from associated model into a tree view of another model

Question

I have 2 fields in res.partner that I would like to display in a tree view for account.invoice based on the partner_id field. I'm wondering how I can do that (reference another model and field) through the tree view web interface, due to the SaaS version not allowing programmatic access.

Thanks in advance!

create related field in you account.invoice model to the fields of res.partner

x_invoice_preference=fields.Selection(related="partner_id.x_invoice_preference")

it's a good practice to name the related field the same name in the other model

Little exemple :

class class1(models.Model):
   _name = 'table1'
   name = fields.Char()

class class2(models.Model):
  _name = 'table2'
  table1_id = fields.Many2one('table1','table 1');
  #this how you create a related field in order to 
  #show it in the form or the tree when you select the value of the many2one field it
  # will have the same value of the vield name of the tabl1 
  name = fields.Char(related="table1_id.name",readonly=True)
#field_name                  m2onField.field_name
