I am trying to apply modifications to my purchase order report through inherited view. I am trying to moify the format of the shipping address (the information_block section in the screenshot below). 

This is the snippet of the architecture of the base view (I'm only including the part I am trying to modify):


<t t-name="purchase.report_purchaseorder_document">
    <t t-call="web.external_layout">
        <t t-set="o" t-value="o.with_context(lang=o.partner_id.lang)"/>
        <t t-set="address">
            <div t-field="o.partner_id" t-options="{&quot;widget&quot;: &quot;contact&quot;, &quot;fields&quot;: [&quot;address&quot;, &quot;name&quot;, &quot;phone&quot;, &quot;vat&quot;], &quot;no_marker&quot;: True, &quot;phone_icons&quot;: True}"/>
        </t>
        <t t-if="o.dest_address_id">
            <t t-set="information_block">
                <strong class="d-block mt-3">Shipping address</strong>
                <div t-if="o.dest_address_id">
                    <div t-field="o.dest_address_id" t-options="{&quot;widget&quot;: &quot;contact&quot;, &quot;fields&quot;: [&quot;address&quot;, &quot;name&quot;, &quot;phone&quot;], &quot;no_marker&quot;: True, &quot;phone_icons&quot;: True}" name="purchase_shipping_address"/>
                </div>

            </t>



View: report_purchaseorder_document


I have tried different syntax and the shipping address remains unchanged. How can I replace the information_block for this report? I believe the if statements its whats causing my issue - I do not think I am handling them properly. 


These are the sytanx I have used: 


Attempt 1:

<data>
  <data>
    <xpath expr="//t[@t-set='information_block']" position="replace">
      <t t-set="information_block">
        <strong>Shipping Address</strong><br/>
        <div t-field="o.dest_address_id" 
             t-options="{'widget': 'contact', 'fields': ['name', 'address', 'phone'], 'no_marker': True}"/>
      </t>
    </xpath>
  </data>

</data>

Attempt 2:


<data>
  <data>
    <xpath expr="//t[@t-if='o.dest_address_id']/t[@t-set='information_block']" position="replace">
      <t t-set="information_block">
        <strong>Shipping Address</strong><br/>
        <div t-field="o.dest_address_id" 
             t-options="{'widget': 'contact', 'fields': ['name', 'address', 'phone'], 'no_marker': True}"/>
      </t>
    </xpath>
  </data>

</data>

I hope i am making sense. Please ask any clarifying questions. Thanks!

Hi,

The issue you are encountering is likely due to how the t-if condition wraps the information_block. When targeting only the t-set node, the condition can prevent the replacement from being applied as expected.

You can try the following approach, which replaces the entire t-if block:

<xpath expr="//t[@t-if='o.dest_address_id']" position="replace">
    <t t-if="o.dest_address_id">
        <t t-set="information_block">
            <strong>Shipping Address:</strong><br/>
            <div t-field="o.dest_address_id"
                 t-options="{'widget': 'contact', 'fields': ['name', 'address', 'phone'], 'no_marker': True}"/>
        </t>
    </t>
</xpath>

This ensures that the full conditional structure is overridden correctly.

Alternatively, if your goal is only to modify the shipping address format (without affecting the surrounding logic), you can directly target the specific block inside the template:

<xpath expr="//div[@name='purchase_shipping_address']" position="replace">
    <div t-field="o.dest_address_id"
         t-options="{'widget': 'contact', 'fields': ['name', 'address', 'phone'], 'no_marker': True}"/>
</xpath>

This second approach, avoids modifying the conditional logic and focuses only on the display format.


Hope it helps

Hello, 

You're on the right track this issue typically comes from how the t-set is wrapped inside a t-if, which makes the XPath a bit sensitive.

In this case, instead of targeting only t-set="information_block", you should target it within its parent condition, ensuring the full structure is correctly matched.

You can try a more precise XPath like this:

<xpath expr="//t[@t-if='o.dest_address_id']//t[@t-set='information_block']" position="replace">
    <t t-set="information_block">
        <strong>Shipping Address</strong><br/>
        <div t-field="o.dest_address_id" 
             t-options="{'widget': 'contact', 'fields': ['name', 'address', 'phone'], 'no_marker': True}"/>
    </t>
</xpath>

Also, make sure that:

  • Your inherited view is correctly linked to report_purchaseorder_document
  • The module is upgraded and cache is cleared (especially on Odoo Online, changes may take a moment)

If it still doesn’t apply, another reliable approach is to replace the parent t-if block entirely and redefine your structure.

Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion
