add a field on hr_expense_view_form

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to add a field on hr_expense_view_form from my custom module. When I try to install the module I get:

odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: while parsing file:/c:/program%20files/odoo%2016.0.20230223/server/odoo/addons/vat_mileage/views/hr_expense_views.xml:4, somewhere inside
hr.expense.view.form.inherited
hr.expense

Hi,

Please see a sample of inheriting this view and compare it with your view:

<record id="hr_expense_form_view_inherit_sale_expense" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">hr.expense.form.inherit.sale.expensefield>
    <field name="model">hr.expensefield>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_expense.hr_expense_view_form"/>
    <field name="priority">30field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//field[@name='analytic_distribution']" position="before">
            <field name="can_be_reinvoiced" invisible="1"/>
        xpath>
    field>
record>

Thanks

thank you, I manage to sort it out and now I see the field and everything, but the field is not doing the compute...
I need that only for the expenses that are per unit price
@api.depends('total_amount')
def _compute_x_total_price_divided_by_6(self):
for expense in self:
expense.x_total_price_divided_by_6 = expense.total_amount / 6
