Oh. Forgive me for misleading you. Module name is my personal module. This is not a basic module.


For ease of understanding, I renamed



<record model="ir.ui.view" id="creative_form">
<field name="name">creative creative form</field>
<field name="model">creative.creative</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form>
<header>

</header>
<sheet>
<notebook>
<field name='test'>
</notebook>
</sheet>
</form>
</field>
</record>


<record model="ir.ui.view" id="creative_form_for_manager">
<field name="name">creative creative form for manager</field>
<field name="model">creative.creative</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="creative.creative_form"/>
<field name="groups_id" eval="[(4, ref('creative.group_creative_manager'))]"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//notebook" position="replace"></xpath>
</field>
</record>

Syntax seems okay. Check whether the first view is getting created before the second one.

how can I check it? In the code, the block with Xpath is below the main block. Both blocks in one xml file

Comment out the second block by putting a <!-- before, and a --> after the block like so and upgrade your custom module to see if the the first view is getting created correctly.

<!--

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="creative_form_for_manager">

<field name="name">creative creative form for manager</field>

<field name="model">creative.creative</field>

<field name="inherit_id" ref="creative.creative_form"/>

<field name="groups_id" eval="[(4, ref('creative.group_creative_manager'))]"/>

<field name="arch" type="xml">

<xpath expr="//notebook" position="replace"></xpath>

</field>

</record>

-->

Hi,

Please try with 

<xpath expr="//sheet/notebook">

and make sure that the notebook is not inherited in other views.

Thanks

This doesn't work either =(

Please check is there any other view with same record Id

module_form

Author

No. This only one. This code worked fine in odoo 10

Is it possible to upgrade the respective module without this code

Author

Hello. check out my today comment. I misled you with my module name ((

Author

yes. Without this code my custom module correctly loaded

could you try with changing attributes instead of replacing

<xpath expr="//sheet/notebook" position="attributes">

<attribute name="invisible">1</attribute>

</xpath>

Author

Element '<xpath expr="//sheet/notebook">' cannot be located in parent view

Hi Mikhail: There is no view with an external id of module.module_form in Odoo 12. There is one with an external id of base.module_form 

EDIT: 

Screenshot of base.module_form

No , error : "External ID not found in the system: base.module_form"

I have edited my earlier post and added a screenshot of base.module_form for your reference.

If it does not exist, it may indicate that the migration is not handling the views correctly.
