<data>
<template id="shrinkage_report_template" inherit_id="shrinkage_monitoring.shrinkage_report_template">

This is my code in inheriting the qweb so that I can add new column in my another custom module, I already added the dependencies , the __init__ and manifest but the new column still doesn't show up. Then i tried to make the class name wrong and it shows up error message that it can't locate the view, it means it can read the file I created but still the new column doesn't apply even how many times I upgrade the module. Why?

it might be becuase of the wrong inherit_id or your xpath expr.

try to add something else like, a field and check if your inheritance works. and from front end please check the file is inherited.

Dear Trainee,

I can already add a row and column then after I upgrade some of my module , the row and column doesn't show up again? What might be the cause?

Hi,

Make sure that the file in which you have inherited the qweb is called inside the manifest file. Also are you getting any error message while upgrading the module ? If so update the question with  the error message.
