Hi to all.
I'm making some fields hidden or not available to users than can access the settings menu. I can make it work inheriting the module's res.config.settings view and setting the fields or sections I do not want to show to that users invisible, or assigning it to another specific group; it's working ok for the res.config.settings, base_setup and invoicing modules.
However, when I try to do the same with POS, any field, block, setting, or any other part of the view raises an error stating i.e. "Field "pos_auto_validate_terminal_payment" does not exist in model "res.config.settings""
Below the inherited view code in full:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
<data>
<record id="pos_res_config_settings_view_form_inherited" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">my_module.pos_res_config_settings_view_form</field>
<field name="model">res.config.settings</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="point_of_sale.res_config_settings_view_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[@name='pos_auto_validate_terminal_payment']" position="attributes">
<attribute name="invisible">1</attribute>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</odoo>
Below an extract of the log of the module update intent:

I tried with many other fields, and happens the same. When I try with some block, or settings sections, raises the same error, reflecting it on the first field of the block or sections.
Any help or advice on how to approach the error is appreciated.
