Odoo 10: Add extra fields to the product form

1
votes

I want to add a couple of extra fields to the product form, right after 'standard_price'.

I created a view that inherits from "product.product_template_form_view" and added my fields there:

<field name="standard_price" position="after">
        <field name="my_field" />
</field>

I then restart odoo updating the module, but I don't see my new fields when I call the product form.

The fields appear on the database model (created inherited models also), but not on the user interface.

What I'm missing here?

On what model did you add fields? Do you understand Odoos concept of product templates and variants? – CZoellner
@CZoellner Not sure I understand it fully, would you have any references? – Cleber Goncalves
There already was a question about it :-) – CZoellner

Check these things:

  • Inherited from correct base form product.template.common.form
  • Make sure you are looking at correct form for product.template (Product), not product.product (Product Variant).
  • Do you see the input field without caption in edit mode? If this is the case, you can have broken structure in the html level. Next bullet will solve this.
  • Standard_price field has unique html structure because it can have unit of measure (uom) connected to it. Try connecting to simple field or use the container div standard_price_uom for connection, see template code below.

Template code for working view with a new field after standard_price_uom div:

<div name='standard_price_uom' position="after">
  <field name="my_field" />
</div>

If these does not help, please provide whole view definition.

Make sure you use the correct model. Use product.template instead of product.product.

<record id="product_template_form" model ="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">product.template.form</field>
    <field name="model">product.template</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view" />
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="standard_price" position="after">
            <field name="my_field"/>
        </field>
    </field>
</record>

...

class ProductTemplate(models.Model):
    _inherit = "product.template"

    my_field = fields.Char()

Make sure you have added your XML file into your module’s __manifest__.py file. Odoo only pulls in XML from files that you tell it to.

You can see examples of this on any core modules. See sale/__manifest__.py for an example.

On your module, it would be something like this:

{
    ...
    ‘data’: [
        ‘views/form/form_product.xml’,
    ]
    ...
}

I have tested it in Odoo 12.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
    <record id="view_product_template_common_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">product.template.common.form.inherit</field>
        <field name="model">product.template</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <xpath expr="//div[@name='standard_price_uom']" position="after">
                <label for="my_field" string="My Field"/>
                <div>
                    <field name="my_field"/>
                </div>
            </xpath>
        </field>
    </record>
</odoo>
