I am using odoo 10e. I want to change companies form and tree view. So i was following this tutorial Help

and this is what i tried but its not working

<odoo>
<data>
    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="view_crm_lead_form_inherited">
        <field name="model">res.company</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_company_form" />
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <field name="name" position="attributes">
                <attribute name="string">Custodian Name</attribute>

        </field>
    </record>
</data>

Have you provided the path to this file in your __manifest__.py? — tidylobster
hmm, try to set up primary mode, i.e. add <field name="mode">primary</field> before arch — tidylobster

Here the important part of the origin view:

<div class="oe_title">
    <label for="name" class="oe_edit_only"/>
    <h1>
        <field name="name" class="oe_inline"/>
    </h1>
    <label for="rml_header1" class="oe_edit_only"/>
    <h3>
        <field name="rml_header1" placeholder="e.g. Global Business Solutions"/>
    </h3>
</div>

You have to change the label, because the field label, which you try to override, is never used.

Following should work:

<label for="name" position="attributes">
    <attribute name="string">Custodian Name</attribute>
    <attribute name="for" />
</label>
