Hello all

Is there a way to call a method in the .py file from the xml without define a new field?
E.g.:

model.py
@api.model
def get_companies(self):
    return self.env['res.partner'].search(['is_company', '=', True])

view.py
<field name="get_companies" colspan="4" nolabel="1">
    <tree string="Companies">
        <field name="id"/>
        <field name="name"/>
        <field name="vat"/>
    </tree>
</field>

Regards
Alejandro

If the method does not depends on specific records, you may want to try to use context supplied from fields_view_get.  However I think function field is easier to implement.

Thank you Ivan, then, I will use a function field to reference those values. Could you please include some source or explanation for fields_view_get usage to accept your answer as the solution?

The two samples that you'll find most useful, AFAIK, is from account.voucher (odoo/addons/account_voucher/account_voucher.py) and account.invoice (odoo/addons/account/account_invoice.py). They are a model that is used for several purposes (types) and the view need to be customised for each purpose/type.
