This question has been flagged

I am trying to do something really simple here. But I can't find anything in the docs, or on help.openerp.com

I added a field (which is a many2one relationship with another table) on a form. This created a dropdown menu where can either pick or create new values.

If you click on "Create and Edit", this will open a new window, where you have a field that you can fill in, and save. But the label for this field is "unknown". Someone explained to me that I need to create a view for this form.

So I did, I created this view, at first, I inherited from another form (the users' one), but it throwing me error, moaning about missing fields. My question is: What should I inherit from?

The process works without defining my own view for this, but whenever I pick an existing record, create a new one, the value doesn't appear, but instead I have the name of the table, and its identifier as a link to the record (that will open a new window if I recall correctly). Is there a way to do a lookup instead, and display the value?

Here the code:

        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="hubclub_counties_form">

            <field name="model">hubclub.counties</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_users_form"/>

what is the error? also check that you have defined the model res_users inside hubclub_counties.

There is no error, just the behavior I described. Where can I find documentation on how to define res_users in hubclun_counties?
