Odoo provides an inheritance mechanism to extend a view in a modular way. The view extension describes modifications of the XML of the extended view. It can, for instance, add elements, modify elements or modify element attributes. It usually complements model extensions.
The purpose of this module is to learn this inheritance mechanism.
In the previous training module (Model Inheritance),
we have added fields on the contacts (model res.partner). The boolean field
instructor distinguishes between instructors and other contacts, and a read-
only field shows the sessions attended by a given contact. Make these fields
appear on the form and search views of this model with view inheritance.
- Hint: the form view to inherit from has the id
base.view_partner_form.
In the previous training module, we added a specific data model for book copies. Modify the form view of that model to make it inherit from the form view of the book model.
