Inherited form view for specific module without overriding base view - Odoo 15.0

Question

I need to tell Odoo to use a specific form view for a specific menuitem (new module) without overriding base view so it won't affecting other menus. mode=primary doesn't do anything. Should I make a new model inherited from the base model? (Use _name and _inherit) and use that new model in the view (model=new.model). Or maybe I can use Action or Context to tell Odoo to use the new form view?

Hi,
Using mode primary you can create a new view without affecting the original view, and set a higher priority value for the newly created view.
100

Once the priority is set as higher, in the default menus, the original view will displayed as its priority is less(considering the action of menu doesn't contains view_ids)

Now in your newly created menu, along with the menu action specify the views using the view_ids key.
