Forgive me for being terrible at reading documentation. 

I'm following the tutorial on Chapter 6 \https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/developer/howtos/rdtraining/06_firstui.html

And the task at hand is to "Add the active field to the estate.property model."

So what I did was look at the Odoo documentation: 

"

Reserved Field names\

A few field names are reserved for pre-defined behaviors beyond that of automated fields. They should be defined on a model when the related behavior is desired:"

odoo.fields.active

toggles the global visibility of the record, if active is set to False the record is invisible in most searches and listing.

\Boolean

Okay, so that means that \odoo.fields.active is the right method to call. So I try adding this line

from odoo import fields, models 

...

active = fields.active()

But my VS code suggests that active is not a method on odoo.fields, and I am stuck here. Am I on the right track?
