I have a many2many field of which I want a a column to be invisible given a conditional attribute. I can make the field invisible, but this only causes the cell to be grey and doesn't remove the column. When I use the column_invisible attribute I get the following error:

"The requested change caused an error in the view. It could be because a field was deleted, but still used somewhere else."

Not sure how that error applies here. Using v12.

attrs column_invisible can only work with parent please try to make it as:


  attrs="{"column_invisible": [["parent.project_id","=",2]]}"

<xpath expr="//form[1]/sheet[1]/group[1]" position="after">
<field name="task_order_line">
<tree string="Task Order Line" editable="bottom">
<field name="expected_date" attrs="{"column_invisible": [["project_id","=",2]]}"/>
<field name="project_id" invisible="1"/>
</tree>

The above code is what is causing the error. When I change "column_invisible" to "invisible", it works but greys out the many2many box instead of making the column disappear. I have other fields in my tree view, but for brevity in this post I've removed them.

For some reason the forum is not allowing me to upload pictures, not sure why.

Hi, try with this:

<field name="expected_date" attrs="{"column_invisible": [('project_id',"=",2)]}"/>
