How to remove certain columns from an inherited model?

Question

I'm trying to create a model named 'mantenimiento' based on project.task, but want to omit one or two columns from it.
I have this so far:
_name = "project.mantenimientos"
_description = "Mantenimientos"
_inherit = 'project.task' How could I do it?
Thanks.

1) Easier way: Either inherit view and just invisible those columns which you don't want to show to user.

There is not any way for delete columns using _inherit. You need to remove column from database(postgres) using alter table.
You need to execute query for drop column like : alter table project_mantenimientos drop column specific_column.
