+The example also demonstrates how to define a reflecting ``Many2One``: It's not
 possible to create the two models without using inheritance because
 each of the foreign key (``first_owner`` and ``current_car``) need the
 other model table.
 
+
+Extending existing fields from an existing model
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+An existing field can be extended by calling `copy.copy` on it, modifying its attributes
+and then calling `self._reset_columns`.
+
+.. highlight:: python
+
+::
+
+  import copy
+
+  class Line(ModelSQL, ModelView):
+      _name = 'timesheet.line'
+
+      #...
+
+      def __init__(self):
+          super(Line, self).__init__()
+          self.employee = copy.copy(self.employee)
+          if self.employee.on_change is None:
+              self.employee.on_change = []
+          if 'employee' not in self.employee.on_change:
+              self.employee.on_change += ['employee']
+              self._reset_columns()
+
+
+In this example the extended model wants on_change_employee(...) to be called so it adds 'employee'
+to the on_change attribute of the employee field.  Notice that only if the the field is
+modified then `self._reset_columns` is called.  Also notice that a developer should try
+to make no assumptions about the field so that additional modules could also
+extend the same field.
