So I tried doing this:
<record model="ir.ui.view"
id="sale_order_email_scheduled_collection_form">
<field name="name">sale.order_email.scheduled_email.form</field>
<field name="model">sale.order_email.scheduled_email</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="email_template.email_template_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//h1" position="after">
<h2>Test Foo</h2>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
What ends up happening is that the form becomes plain without grouping. If I however straight up copy the email_template form instead the groupings work fine. I.e. this:
<record model="ir.ui.view"
id="sale_order_email_scheduled_collection_form">
<field name="name">sale.order_email.scheduled_email.form</field>
<field name="model">sale.order_email.scheduled_email</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Templates">

Why is my inheritance not working as expected?
