I was trying to upgrade a module from Odoo 13 to Odoo 14 (stock_split_picking to be exact), I found an error that I don't really understand and I can't figure how to fix it.
It's an error that happen when I want to install the module, and after hours of search on the internet, hours of just reading Odoo's code in a hope of understanding what's happening... I just can't understand where is the problem, nothing seems to be anormal from what I've read on Odoo's Documentation on their website.
Here is my error :
Odoo Server Error

My first thought was that the xpath was bad, but the error is not the same as an xpath error.
I already tried to delete this record for the installation, and then rewrite the record after having installing the module, and magic : the module can be upgraded without any error. Problem is that when we want to use the module, the error come again and make it impossible to use the module.
