I can't seem to get this <field>_ids to appear. I get fatal errors when I try to install the module.

How can I go about determining why cert_ids is not found?

You should post your xml code also.

Thanks Sudhir Arya, I've edited the question!

sorry, I didn't read your error message carefully. The 'project.project.medical.form' is not defined properly. The 'data' element is not necessary for V7, and the <field colspan="6" name="cert_ids" nolabel="1"> element is not anchored with any element on your parent view. you will either make the previous anchor point include your other view definition in "project.project.medical.form" or make another anchor point like <field name="FieldName" posistion="xxx"> to include your view changes.

Thanks for the thoughts +Tony Gu! There are no records with "SELECT * FROM ir_ui_view WHERE name='project.project.medical.treeP'".

Thanks +Tony Gu! I was thinking that "position=" in the following "<xpath expr="//notebook/page[@string='Team']" position="before" >" met that need. Does it not? And, I thought that data defined in the ".py" would be created before the error occurred processing the ".xml". Are there any database artifacts for a functional field like cert_ids; something that would prove to me that cert_ids had been created?

"AssertionError: Did not expect element record there, line 4" occurs when there are no <data> and </data> tags.

I wonder about the "AttributeError: View definition error for inherited view ''" part of the error message. The empty view name '' has me thinking I've triggered something that discards the inherited view name which seems to appear later in the error message "not found in parent view 'project.edit_project'".
