How to Display Related Author Name in Odoo List View?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to display the book's author name in a list view. I added <field name="author.name" /> inside the <list> tag, but I get this error:
Field "author.name" does not exist in model "book"

How can I fix this?

Models:

author

- name

book

- author

I fixed this creating a compute field called author_name and resolve it in model file. I did this, but I would like to know wheather there is someway more simple (like Django)

Creating a related field in the book model with stored=True, or a calculated field the way you're doing is good. Because sometimes you need to search and filter by the author. And there maybe more than 1 author for a book. Normally for display purpose, I think sometimes we just add the author to the list view (and the name will automatically be shown with a link to that author.
