specific view for many2one field in odoo

 

In this blog we will explain how to add specific view for many2one field in odoo 

so to explain that let us say we created custom form view for the product unit of measure and we want to open it from uom_id field in product view just like at the image , so we must inherit the product from view , then add context attribute to uom_id field , just like bellow 

<xpath expr="//field[@name='uom_id']" position="attributes">
     <attribute name="context">
          {'form_view_ref':'custom_module_name.custom_form_view_id'}
     </attribute>
</xpath>
