Hi

This will help you https://accounts.openerp.com/forum/Help-1/question/47546

Refer below code

def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id=None, view_type='form', context=None, toolbar=False, submenu=False):
    if context is None:
        context = {}
    wiz_id = self.pool.get('ir.actions.act_window').search(cr, uid, [("name","=","analytic.plan.create.model.action")], context=context)
    res = super(account_analytic_plan_instance,self).fields_view_get(cr, uid, view_id, view_type, context, toolbar=toolbar, submenu=submenu)
    journal_obj = self.pool.get('account.journal')
    analytic_plan_obj = self.pool.get('account.analytic.plan')
    if (res['type']=='form'):
        plan_id = False
        if context.get('journal_id', False):
            plan_id = journal_obj.browse(cr, uid, int(context['journal_id']), context=context).plan_id
        elif context.get('plan_id', False):
            plan_id = analytic_plan_obj.browse(cr, uid, int(context['plan_id']), context=context)

        if plan_id:
            i=1
            res['arch'] = """<form string="%s">
<field name="name"/>
<field name="code"/>
<field name="journal_id"/>
<button name="%d" string="Save This Distribution as a Model" type="action" colspan="2"/>
"""% (tools.to_xml(plan_id.name), wiz_id[0])
            for line in plan_id.plan_ids:
                res['arch']+="""
                <field name="account%d_ids" string="%s" nolabel="1" colspan="4">
                <tree string="%s" editable="bottom">
                    <field name="rate"/>
                    <field name="analytic_account_id" domain="[('parent_id','child_of',[%d])]" groups="analytic.group_analytic_accounting"/>
                </tree>
            </field>
            <newline/>"""%(i,tools.to_xml(line.name),tools.to_xml(line.name),line.root_analytic_id and line.root_analytic_id.id or 0)
                i+=1
            res['arch'] += "</form>"
            doc = etree.fromstring(res['arch'].encode('utf8'))
            xarch, xfields = self._view_look_dom_arch(cr, uid, doc, view_id, context=context)
            res['arch'] = xarch
            res['fields'] = xfields
        return res
    else:
        return res

def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id, view_type='form', context=None,toolbar=False,submenu=False): result = super(deg_form, self).fields_view_get(cr, uid, view_id, view_type, context, toolbar,submenu) moves_fields=result['fields'] moves_fields.update({ "name" : {'string': 'MyNewName','type': 'char'}}) moves_fields.update({ "data_type" : {'string': 'MyTYPE','type': 'char'}})
moves_fields.update({ "father_name" : {'string': 'MyNewName','type': 'char'}}) # school_obj = self.pool.get('deg.form') result['fields'] = moves_fields # if vi

arsalan

arsalan
Author

Author
