I have to hide the fields phone, mobile, and email in contacts, I believe I'm doing the right thing to do the trick but it seems that it's not behaving the way it should. Here's my code:

in inherited views..

<record id="contacts_custom_fields" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">contacts.custom.fields</field>        
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>        
    <field name="type">form</field>        
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>        
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="phone" position="attributes">                
            <attribute name="groups">module_name.group_admin,module_name.group_read_only</attribute>            
        </field>            
        <field name="mobile" position="attributes">                
            <attribute name="groups">module_name.group_admin,module_name.group_read_only</attribute>            
        </field>            
        <field name="email" position="attributes">                        
            <attribute name="groups">module_name.group_admin,module_name.group_read_only</attribute>            
        </field> 
    </field>
</record>

I also tried this to locate exactly the field but, to no avail:

<record id="contacts_custom_fields" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">contacts.custom.fields</field>        
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>        
    <field name="type">form</field>        
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>        
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//form/sheet/group[1]/group[2]/field[@name='phone']" position="attributes">                
            <attribute name="groups">module_name.group_admin,module_name.group_read_only</attribute>            
        </xpath>
    </field>
</record>

For a test, I also even tried to use: <attribute name="attrs">{'invisible': 1}</attribute> but to no avail

Anyone, who encountered the same issue.?

hello

please check the sms and mail module, into that the field phone and email is inherited and replace. so if you want to hide that field you have inherit the sms and mail module.

Hope this will helps you.

Thanks man.. You are right.. I was able to hide the fields by inheriting the view in mail (for email).. And still have to work with the other fields. But your answer really helps me a lot..

For someone's reference here's what I did:

<field name="name">res.partner.view.form.inherit.mail2</field>

<field name="model">res.partner</field>
