Hi Friends.

I inherited a model hr.employee to my view and I added a button action,

But it is throwing error to me, that

ValueError: No such external ID currently defined in the system: hr_team.action_button_confirm

I added the button in the hr_team and written the function in the class hr_team.

But this is not working.

Here is my .py file

class hr_performancegoals(osv.osv): _name = "hr.performancegoals" _description = "Performance Goals"

def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id=None, view_type='form', context=None, toolbar=False, submenu=False):
     if context is None:
        context = {}
     result = super(hr_performancegoals, self).fields_view_get(cr, uid, view_id,view_type, context, toolbar,submenu)
     data = result['arch']
     if uid == 1:
        L=[]
        ldata = data.split("\n")
        for var in ldata:
             if re.search("str_goals",var):
                 pass
             else:
                 L.append(var)
        reqdata =''.join(L)
        result['arch']=reqdata
