Hi,

I need to show one field of the tree view in a modal window so as to edit it conveniently rather than jumbling up in the Tree View. The code seems to run good, but "return action" does not open the form. What must I be doing wrong? Below is my code -

XML code - View

        <record id="view_edithtml_description" model="ir.ui.view">

            <field name="name">purchase.order.line.form</field>

            <field name="model">purchase.order.line</field>

            <field name="type">form</field>

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

                <form string="Edit Description">

<!--                    <group colspan="4" >  -->

                        <field name="description" widget="html"/>

<!--                    </group>  -->

               </form>

            </field>

        </record>

XML Code - Button

<button name="edit_description" string="Edit description" type="object" icon="fa-magic"/>

Python Code:

@api.one

    def edit_description(self):

        self.description = self.name

        view_id = self.env.ref('fmcg_purchase.view_edithtml_description').id

        context = self._context.copy()

        my_view = {

            'name': 'view_edithtml_description',

            'view_type': 'form',

            'view_mode': 'form',

            'views': [(view_id, 'form')],

            'res_model': 'purchase.order.line',

            'view_id': view_id,

            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',

            'res_id': self.id,

            'target': 'new',

            'context': context,

        }

        return my_view

I checked the values of my_view and everything appears as appropriate. However, the form doesn't open. I am using Odoo v11 CE
