Hello all,

I don't understand something about view inheritance. I need (again and again) your help.

When we click on Sales->Products->Products (form view) :

This view product.product_template_form_view is called and declared with model product.template. I understand this.

<record id="product.product_template_form_view" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">product.template.common.form</field>
            <field name="model">product.template</field>
            <field name="mode">primary</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form string="Product">    
                     [...]
                </form>
            </field>
</record>

When we click on Sales->Sales->Products variants (form view) :

This view product.product_normal_form_view is called and declared with model product.product. It inherits the above view

product.product_template_form_view. I don't understand this! These two views don't have the same model...

<record id="product.product_normal_form_view" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">product.product.form</field>
            <field name="model">product.product</field>
            <field name="mode">primary</field>
            <field eval="7" name="priority"/>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_template_form_view"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form position="attributes">
                    <attribute name="string">Product Variant ZZZ</attribute>
                </form>
                [...]
            </field>
        </record>   

I would really need example, documentation about this concept.

How can a view inherit an other view from an other model?

I thought that a view that inherits an other view must have the SAME MODEL... No???
