I'm creating a 8.0 module and want to create this record in an xml if the record hasn't already been created by anyone else:

<record id="bg" model="res.partner.bank.type">
    <field name="name">Bankgiro</field>
    <field name="code">bg</field>
</record>
Is there a way in xml to have this conditioned like "if not 'bg' in res.partner.bank.type" the go ahead an create the record, else do nothing!

The thing is, there's another module that creates this record but I don't want to depend on that module just for this. And I don't want to create duplicate records like it does right now.

if all your modules shares similar identical information, it might be wiser to do build a base module of yours, and make other modules depend on it. so you will have no conflict with any.
