                </xpath>
            </field>
        </record>
  </data>
</odoo> 

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

In Back office : Main Dashboard > Settings > Technical Settings > Views, to access the parent view : replace the id in your custom view URL by this id : 545, which is the id of the parent_view, as mentioned in the error message : 'view.parent': ir.ui.view(545,):

Your url should be similar to this one:

yourdomain.com /web?#id=545&action=28&model=ir.ui.view&view_type=form

And Check :

• whether the date_due field is existing in this parent view (id=545)
• whether the date_due field is inside a <t-if=...> scope
