How can I append to the existing groups for a field in a view?

Question

The view " product.supplierinfo.form.view [1] " has the field product_id that is only visible for the group "product.group_product_variant".
I'm updating an OCA module that inherits this view. How can I add an additional group to the list of groups that can see the product_id field? (the new group is product.group_stock_packaging)
For better future extensibility by others, I want to append to the list of groups as opposed to overwriting the group(s).

[1] https://product%5C.supplierinfo%5C.form

Hi,

You can inherit the corresponding view and modify the group attribute as follows:

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="product_supplierinfo_form_view">
    <field name="name">product.supplierinfofield>
    <field name="model">product.supplierinfofield>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_supplierinfo_form_view"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//field[@name='product_id']" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="groups">product.group_product_variant,product.group_stock_packagingattribute>
        xpath>
    field>
record>

Thanks
