I'm quite new to Odoo, and (unwisely) attempted to add the website_description field as an option on my product creation form, and not only did I do so incorrectly, I seem to have impaired my ability to view the product listings in the odoo administration area or remove the field I added into the product creation form. I have built a number of sites before using open-source CMS's, although I'm by no means a developer, and so I thought I was familiar enough to hack in a few changes to the product form, but I can tell now that I'm in quite a bit over my head.
The area I tried to edit was (I believe) in the product.template.common.form, where I added in the following line:
<field name="website_description" widget="html"/>
...after the field <field name="currency_id" invisible="1"/>. After doing that, I could no longer edit the product page. I suspect I may have also changed a setting on the form linked through before you get to the product.template.common form, but I can't be sure because I don't know what the id of that form was. Now, when going to the Products area I receive the following traceback error:

I get a similar error (the last bit, referencing the invoice policy), if I attempt to remove the website_description field from the view id 435. I'm not sure really where to proceed from here. Is it possible somehow to reset all views and forms related to products back to their default, or what can I do with this error to start to unravel the mess I have made? Any good suggestions for guides on how to read through and decipher error messages in odoo would be greatly appreciated.
