  • You should use fields_view_get method, it will fired with every type of view, if you need it when a form is open you can do something like this:

    @api.model
def fields_view_get(self, view_id=None, view_type='form', toolbar=False, submenu=False):
    res = super(Movimiento, self).fields_view_get(
        view_id=view_id, view_type=view_type, toolbar=toolbar, submenu=submenu
    )
    if view_type == 'form':
        # Get today date
        today = fields.Date.context_today(self)
        # update your field here. 
    return res

    I hope this answer can be helpful for you.
