I would like to remove the node <sheet></sheet>
from a form view. For instance, I have this view:
<record id="view_account_period_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">account.period.form</field>
<field name="model">account.period</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Account Period">
<header>
[...]
</header>
<sheet>
<group>
<group>
<field name="name"/>
<field name="fiscalyear_id" widget="selection"/>
<label for="date_start" string="Duration"/>
<div>
<field name="date_start" class="oe_inline" nolabel="1"/> -
<field name="date_stop" nolabel="1" class="oe_inline"/>
</div>
</group>
<group>
<field name="code"/>
<field name="special"/>
<field name="company_id" widget="selection" groups="base.group_multi_company"/>
</group>
</group>
</sheet>
</form>
</field>
</record>
I would like to convert it in this other view without the node, but keeping all the elements within it:
<record id="view_account_period_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">account.period.form</field>
<field name="model">account.period</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Account Period">
<header>
[...]
</header>
<group>
<group>
<field name="name"/>
<field name="fiscalyear_id" widget="selection"/>
<label for="date_start" string="Duration"/>
<div>
<field name="date_start" class="oe_inline" nolabel="1"/> -
<field name="date_stop" nolabel="1" class="oe_inline"/>
</div>
</group>
<group>
<field name="code"/>
<field name="special"/>
<field name="company_id" widget="selection" groups="base.group_multi_company"/>
</group>
</group>
</form>
</field>
</record>
Is that possible or I need to override the complete code again?
Maybe something similar to:
<xpath expr="//form/sheet" position="replace">
<!-- [...] -->
</xpath>
There is an open issue in Git Hub asking for solving this here, but I think that maybe anyone knows how to do it without programming a new feature in Odoo.
