Odoo hide “Create” and “Edit” buttons depend on state and role

Question

I would like to hide "Create" and "Edit" buttons on state and group role in form view .For example hide Create and Edit buttons when the state is not draft and user belongs to request user group.

As I understand hide buttons I can on editing views. And on group role rules I can disable create or edit.

I tried to write a rule for request user group but then user can't use the button but see it.

From view I found only way to hide default Create and Edit buttons:

<form string="Request" create="false" edit="false">

But in that way I hide them for all users for all states. Is there another way how can I hide Create and Edit buttons depend on state and group role?

I tried to expand the base.xml template on conditions state is "approved" or "done" and the group role is purchase_request_user and view id is view_purchase_request_form "Create" and "Edit" button:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<templates xml:space='preserve'>
    <t t-extend="FormView.buttons">
        <t t-if="widget.fields_view.state !== 'done' or widget.fields_view.state !== 'approved'">
        <div class="o_form_buttons_view">
            <button t-if="widget.is_action_enabled('edit')"
                    type="button"
                    class="oe_form_button_edit btn btn-default btn-sm" accesskey="E">
                Edit
            </button>
            <button t-if="widget.is_action_enabled('create')"
                    type="button" class="oe_form_button_create btn btn-default btn-sm"
                    accesskey="C">
                Create
            </button>
        </div>
        </t>
    </t>
</templates>

added 'base' to dependences.

UPDATED base.xml Now I can change "Create" button name depend on my view name but nothing that depends on my module states.

<templates>
<t t-extend="FormView.buttons">
    <t t-jquery="button.oe_form_button_create" t-operation="replace">
        <t t-if="widget.fields_view.name == 'purchase.request.form'">
            <button t-if="widget.is_action_enabled('create')"
                    type="button" class="oe_form_button_create btn btn-default btn-sm"
                    accesskey="C">
                New button name
            </button>
        </t>
    </t>
 </t>
</templates>

My form view xml peace:

<openerp>
    <data>
        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="view_purchase_request_form">
            <field name="name">purchase.request.form</field>

You have to write a template inheriting the 'FormView.buttons' one, check the context fields, like groups and state, and put a condition based on the wanted fields.

Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<templates xml:space='preserve'>
    <t t-extend="FormView.buttons">
        <t t-if="widget.fields_view.state == <wanted_state>">
            <your operations>
        </t>
    </t>
</templates>
