Odoo external id difference in Metadata and in FormView

What is usage and difference between xml_id in Metadata and in FormView ? For example in Customer form, menu Edit FormView, External (XML) ID is base.view_partner_form and the model is ir.ui.view. But in View Metadata of the same form, the XML ID is base.res_partner_2 and the model is res.partner.

I try to search these two xml_id in database table ir_model_data and sure both are there.

Please help, how each of them are used ?

The XML ID base.res_partner_2 you saw in Metadata is belonged to demo data of odoo and the XML ID base.view_partner_form id form view ID of res.partner model. These all xml ids are stored in the same table of odoo as you mentioned table ir_model_data.

Check the xml files of odoo you'll get both the ids are there in code .. Fact is you'll find 1 id in demo data files and another one in form view as the id of view.

For example:

odoo-11/addons/account/demo/account_demo.xml

odoo-11/odoo/addons/base/res/res_partner_view.xml
