I just solved it, by changing the code to
<xpath expr="//form" position="inside">
Now it is working fine.

Hi,

In odoo 17 there is so many changes had occurred inside res config settings. So make clear that you are xpathing the correct location

example:

<record id="res_config_settings_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="model">res.config.settings</field>
<field name="inherit_id"
ref="base_setup.res_config_settings_view_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//setting[@id='mail_templates_setting']"
position="after">
<setting id="company_share_product"
string="Inter Company features"
help="Automatically generate counterpart documents for orders/invoices between companies "
company_dependent="1">
<div class="content-group">
<div class="mt16">
<field name="company_share_product"/>
<label string="Common Product Catalog"
for="company_share_product" class="o_light_label"/>
</div>
</div>
</setting>

</xpath>

</field>

</record>

The above is just an example, please provide your correct settings id in Xpath

Hope it helps

Hello,

Try following code instead.

Mark it as answer or upvote if it's helpful, Thanks.

field name="arch" type="xml">

xpath expr="//block[@name='employees_setting_container']" position="after">

block title="block_title" id="block_id">

setting string="Custom Setting" id="setting_id" title="your title.">

field name="field_name"/>

/setting>

/block>

/xpath>

/field>

Hi Vikas,
I was not able to view your code

Vikas Jadav

Updated it.
I think odoo does not let me add < so removed it.

Okay Vikas, now the code is visible. But my existing code is below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<odoo>
<record id="journal_config_settings_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">journal.res.config.settings.view.form.inherit.hr.fleet</field>
<field name="model">res.config.settings</field>
<field name="priority" eval="90"/>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.res_config_settings_view_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//div[@data-key='hr']//div[hasclass('o_settings_container')]" position="inside">
<div class="col-12 col-lg-6 o_setting_box">
<div class="o_setting_left_pane">
<field name="notice_period"/>
</div>
<div class="o_setting_right_pane">
<label for="notice_period"/>
<div class="content-group" attrs="{'invisible': [('notice_period', '=', False)]}">
<div class="mt16">
<field name="no_of_days" style="width:50px;"/>
<span>days</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</odoo>
So how can i change this code in accordance with yours.
