I am working in odoo 16 and I would like to make 2 form views for the same model where one is activated when I press the button to create a new instance and the other is activated when I click on the instance in the tree view to show some specific fields of the model . Can someone tell me if it is possible and if you can provide me with a similar example?

Hi, we can create any number of views for same model with same mode, But we have to specify which view will be triggered in act_window records.

<record id="action_account_journal_form" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Journals</field>
<field name="res_model">account.journal</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,kanban,form</field>
<field name="view_ids" eval="[(5, 0, 0),
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'tree', 'view_id': ref('view_account_journal_tree')}),
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'kanban', 'view_id': ref('account_journal_view_kanban')}),
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'form', 'view_id': ref('view_account_journal_form')})]"/>
<field name="help" type="html">
<p class="o_view_nocontent_smiling_face">
Add a journal
</p><p>
A journal is used to record transactions of all accounting data
related to the day-to-day business.
</p>
</field>
</record>

Here the view_ids Specifies the specific views to use for each view mode. The eval attribute indicates that this is a Python expression that will be evaluated:
(5, 0, 0): Clears existing view_ids.
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'tree', 'view_id': ref('view_account_journal_tree')}): Adds a tree view with the reference view_account_journal_tree.
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'kanban', 'view_id': ref('account_journal_view_kanban')}): Adds a kanban view with the reference account_journal_view_kanban.
(0, 0, {'view_mode': 'form', 'view_id': ref('view_account_journal_form')}): Adds a form view with the reference view_account_journal_form.

Hope it helps,

Well once you have 2 form views created

In the act window, you will need to write an exclusive form view to attach it, such that it is treated as primary view.

Example: you can refer Sale Order act window: action_orders

Then for calling a second form view from List, you can make use of context as follows:

context="{ 'form_view_ref': ...form2>'}"

This will work until the user does not refresh the page; if the user does that, then it will not open the custom view that you have passed via context.
