here is your problem data is actually 2 values
data = {
authorID = 1
}
therefore when the widget looks for data it's returning 'authorId' as
that's the first entry.
you can fix this in several ways.
if you want to keep that dict (only worth it if you have more values for it.
change the template to
> ${form(value = data['authorId'], action = 'save', submit_text = "Create")}
if you don't want to keep that dict
change the controller to be
return dict(modelname = self.modelname,
authorID = identity.current.user.id,
....
