Add tab to variants

Hi there

Currently I am fighting to show a blank new tab in Products > Variant.

product.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tryton>
    <data>
        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="product_view_form">
            <field name="model">product.product</field>
            <field name="inherit" ref="product.product_view_form"/>
            <field name="name">product_form</field>
        </record>
</tryton>

product_form.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
    <xpath expr="/form/notebook/page[@id='general']" position="after">
        <page name="cross_selling" string="Cross Selling">
        </page>
    </xpath>
</data>

product.py

from trytond.model import fields, ModelSQL, ModelView
from trytond.pool import PoolMeta


class Product(metaclass=PoolMeta):
    __name__ = 'product.product'

tryton.cfg

[tryton]
version=7.8.0
depends:
    ir
    product
xml:
    product.xml

[register]
model:
    product.Product

What do I miss? As first step I just want to show a new tab without fields. For sure fields will follow.

Thanks for any hints

The reason your new tab is missing is that Tryton does not render completely empty tabs. Since there are no fields or visual elements inside your , the GUI framework hides it by default.

It is designed this way so that if a tab contains fields, but all of them become hidden—either due to PYSON domain conditions (states={‘invisible’: …}) or because the user lacks read access permissions—the entire tab automatically hides itself to avoid showing an empty, useless tab to the user.
