Hi guys,

I’m using Docker as the virtual environment to develop on Odoo 18.

I want to add a few lines of text in the Employee form view of the Employees App, just to see how the form view is laid out.

However, I’ve run into a problem:

When I insert some <p> tags inside the view_employee_form record (specifically under the group) in hr/views/hr_employee_views.xml​, nothing changes in the UI.Even if I delete the entire views folder, the UI still looks the same. I’ve already tried restarting Docker, deleting the database, creating a new one, and reinstalling the Employees App, but the UI remains unchanged.

What I want to understand is this: why does modifying the source code under hr/views​ have no effect on the Employee App’s Employee UI? Even if I completely remove the hr/views​ folder and then reinstall the Employees App, the UI still loads correctly.
