Question

I have installed the built in OpenERP 6.1 module crm.

As a result, I now have res.lead active and visible at “Sales->Opportunities”.

I’d like to edit this object / view to show the partner’s billing address.

Since I want to do this on the Opporunities form, there is already a partner_id.

Copying another module, I defined my new module like this:

class crm_lead(osv.osv):
    _name = _inherit = 'crm.lead'
    _columns = {
    'billing_address_id': fields.many2one('res.partner.address', 'Partner Billing Address', domain="[('partner_id','=',partner_id),('type','in',['invoice', 'default'])]"),
    }

And I changed my update_xml to:

    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="crm_case_form_view_oppor">
        <field name="name">Opportunity form (inherit)</field>
        <field name="model">crm.lead</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="crm.crm_case_form_view_oppor"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <data>
                <separator string="Details" position="replace" />
                <field name="description" position="replace">
                    <group colspan="2" col="4">
                        <separator colspan="4" string="Billing" />
                        <field widget="one2many_list" mode="form,tree" name="billing_address_id" colspan="4" nolabel="1" />
                    </group>
                    <group colspan="2" col="4">
                        <separator colspan="4" string="Details" />
                        <field name="description" nolabel="1" colspan="4" />
                    </group>
                </field>
            </data>
        </field>
    </record>

The problem is that the related object shows all the related fields (as I’d guess would be expected). In particular, it shows the partner_id and company fields, which I’d like to hide since they should default to / inherit from this opportunity (or the linked partner).

How can I hide these fields? I can’t simply add a bunch of ‘related’ fields, as there is potentially more than one billing address.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: To be clearer, an opportunity should only have a single chosen billing address, chosen from the partner’s invoice / default addresses. It should be displayed inline to allow easy editing.

There are a couple of ways to specify the view for related fields like this. You can use the context like this:

<field 
    name="order_line" 
    colspan="4" 
    nolabel="1"
    context="{'form_view_ref': 'module.view_id', 'tree_view_ref': 'model.view_id'}"/>

You can also specify the whole view for the child record as a subview within the parent view like this:

    <!-- <=== order_line is a one2many field -->
    <field name="order_line" colspan="4" nolabel="1">
        <form>
            <field name="qty"/>
            ...
        </form>
        <tree>
            <field name="qty"/>
            ...
        </tree>
    </field>
