Error when trying to list users in odoo 14

Question

When I go to settings in users I'm getting the following error:

Invalid field 'documents_account_settings' on model 'res.config.settings'

I've been looking at the base code and it seems like the field documents_account_settings is not in the model anymore, the file I've been looking at is this /home/odoo/src/odoo/addons/account/models/res_config_settings.py

is there any known bug related to this?

This is the complete trace is the following:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Normally, when we (developers) need something input from admin, we will create a field in res.config.settings to get it, so if you looked for it in module account, you may never see it, it is created by another module. This error caused you by not installing the right module, or more specify, you are opening a view where it show this field (documents_account_settings) but you don't have that field in your database.

There are 2 things (which I know) you can do in this situation to make it better:

Find where this field is created in your source code, and update or install that module, or easier (for Odoo users), update module base, it may reset problem module(s) in your database.
If you are a developer (which I prefer if true), you can go to your database, table ir_ui_view, find which view created that problem (inherit view named 'res.config.settings.view.form') and then alter the architecture part of it.

Hope you find this helping, because I can just show you the way to archive your goals, can not do it for you.
