I am struggling with customized forms in v11.

Using the recruitment module, I modified the contact form adding a new 'surname' field. Thas was done by adding on the HTML what follows:

<div class="form-group form-field o_website_form_required_custom">

    <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-4 text-right">

        <label class="control-label" for="x_surname">Your surname</label>

    </div>    

    <div class="col-md-7 col-sm-8">

        <input type="text" class="form-control o_website_form_input" name="x_apellido" required=""/>

</div>

At the same time I created a new field in Odoo backend that I added to the FormView of the candidate profile in order to have the 'surname' field like follows:

<field type name="x_surname">

But when a candidate fills the form, I don't achieve to insert properly the surname from the form to the candidate profile in backend.

What else should I do? Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks!

"""
Restriction of "authorized fields" (fields which can be used in the
form builders) to fields which have actually been opted into form
builders and are writable. By default no field is writable by the
form builder.
"""
What you need to do is to whitelist your custom field by adding this code to
an xml file in the data folder :
<data>
<function model="ir.model.fields" name="formbuilder_whitelist">
<value>crm.lead</value>
<value eval="[
'x_custom_field'
]"/>
</function>
</data>
