Odoo adding field to res.partner

Question

I am using odoo 10 and I want to add the barcode field to main form. I sucessfully moved the field but it does not save or show any data.

Here is the code I used to show the Barcode field on the form. As you can see it does not show any data.

<xpath expr="//field[@name='category_id']" position="after">
                <field name="barcode" />
                <field name="pin" />
</xpath>

You can not have a field more than once in the same view. Odoo will store the value to only one field.

So you need to remove/replace either barcode field.

Here is the example:

<xpath expr="//page[@name='sales_purchases']/group/group[@name='point_of_sale']/field[@name='barcode']" position="replace">
// may be you have to specify the complete path.
// //page[@name='sales_purchases']/group/group[@name='point_of_sale']
</xpath>

<xpath expr="//field[@name='category_id']" position="after">
                <field name="barcode" />
                <field name="pin" />

</xpath>

Hope it will help you.
