For example, I want to hide field "Number of Children" on the employee form.

So I see it's field: children, object: hr.employee.

I have tried:

extend hr.employee

<field name="children" position="replace"/>
//Result XML validation error

<field name="marital" position="after">
  <field name="children" position="replace"/>
</field
//Exact code from the view, result, two Children fields (this code replace the Marital field with another Children)

<field name="children" attrs="{'invisible':[('children','=',True)]}"/>
//Passes validation but returns error when trying to open an employee form

<field name="children" position="attributes">
  <attribute name='invisible'>1</attribute>
</field>
//Fails xml validation

I don't know any of this code and I'm trying to find examples and that's where I got these tests from. Is there no default way to hide fields like with <field name="field_name" invisible="true"/> and I'm extending the form it will hide that field?

I get the above error when I try your method in the view. Maybe I have an incorrect setting somewhere?

This is correct. If this is going into a module, you may not have the dependencies listed correctly in the __openerp__.py file.

I'm only using this in an extended view. I haven't mastered the delicate art of creating a module that doesn't return the "No handler found" error. So for now this is only in a view. I think the problem I have found is the group this field is in. Since I'm hiding all the fields in group name="contract" I think it's not liking it. How do you hide a group? I've tried position="replace" and it results in xml validate error as well.

Thank you for your help so far. I have added what you say, but still getting an xml validation error. I truly don't understand what this problem is. I have added a screenshot to my question. Perhaps there is something else I am missing that is causing this.

I believe this does it. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Try the following:

<record id="hr_contract_form_inherited_view_new" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">hr.contract.form.inherited.new</field>
    <field name="model">hr.employee</field>
    <field name="priority">17</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_contract.hr_hr_employee_view_form2"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="children" position="replace">
                 <field name="children" invisible="1"/>
        </field>                   
    </field> </record>

also put "hr_contract" in _openerp_.py as depedent module.
