Description

This part:

should come after this part:

Image

And instead of it, there should be other example (perhaps the one referring to property_type?) as at the point where it's now -reader has no idea what "partner" is and why it's mention here.

This section:

is missing part

Comodel:

is with underscore instead of dot:

The statement
No need to create an action or a menu.

Gives no explaination of how to create list view without an action. Previously all our records looked like this

    <record id = "estate_property_offer_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
        <field name="name">Property Offer</field>
        <field name="res_model">estate_property_offer</field>
        <field name="view_mode">list,form</field>
    </record>

What makes it not an action?

(after a while I realised that whole code above is an action, and a "simple list" is this code:

<record id="estate_property_offer_view_list" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">estate_property_offer.list</field>
        <field name="model">estate_property_odder</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <list string="List">
                <field name="price" />
                <field name="partner_id" />
                <field name="status" />
            </list>
        </field>
    </record>

instead) Maybe that could be explained better in previous chapters?
