Hi !
Sorry for this newbie (as I am) question but is there a dedicated place to save modified xml files like when creating Child theme ?
I need to modify the website_sale_utils.xml file and would like to know the best practice about that.
Because when files will be updated or upgraded those modifications will disappear right ?
Maybe I'm far away from the best practice and that I should proceed differently ?
thanks a lot !

Hello Hedge,
You cannot directly modify base module codes. For the changes to save and keep them while future updating you need to make a new custom module and place in it any directory and install it. You can create a new module using scaffold(odoo-bin scaffold <module name> <where to put it>) and then inherit website_sale_utils further to make it work.
You can also take reference from odoo documentation to start making modules and inherit for the same and also keep it in a structured form.
Thank you!

Hello Hedge,
I have not done this before but looking at the view this documentation may point you in the right direction (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/reference/qweb.html#template-inheritance).
Thanks,
thanks a lot Jack !
In fact I have read this, but maybe I didn't understood...
I made some customization inside core files like website_sale_utils.xml and I would like to keep them while future updating....
