Hi,

I followed few videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc-QlBYjjkM and went through similar posts but i could not get new field displayed on product page; despite i can do same with any other screens like sales order, invoice etc.

steps:

1. I added one column in DB x_test using settings -> database structure -> models -> product.template -> edit -> add field

2. edited product_template.py and added

x_test = fields.Char("test Name")

3. edit product_template_views.xml and add below at end

<record id="view_product_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">

            <field name="name">product.template.product.form.inherit</field>

         <field name="model">product.template</field>

         <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>

         <field name="arch" type="xml">

             <field name="default_code" position="after">

                     <field name="color"/>

             </field>

         </field>s

     </record>


4. I tried with some existing fields in template table like color to display on product page but no success.


any help..

<record id="view_product_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="//page[@name='General Information']/group" position="before">
              <group col="2" colspan="2" >
                <field name="color"/>
              </group>
      </xpath>

            </field>
        </record>

That xpath is quite likely to break plus you're using a page title in @name instead of the actual name of the page.
