Re: [web2py] Re: Rendering null values in SQLFORM.grid
You should be able to use field.represent to do that. If the value is None, then show something else like ''.

[web2py] Re: Rendering null values in SQLFORM.grid
Since I have time and integer fields I cannot set default to ''. What do you suggest for a solution?

[web2py] Re: Rendering null values in SQLFORM.grid
why not ? the point here is representing something that isn't there as something else (entirely your choice) instead of None. The solution IF THE APP DOESN'T CARE is to set a default. IF THE APP CARES you still have the represent solution, where you can use whatever you want, we've got it as like as . or go look elsewhere.
