Hi Craig,
Your solution made me think a bit more and the fog finaly dissappeared. The
problem is with the template, it should look like:
<div id="form">
${form.display(value=value)}
</div>
and then you can pre-fill values of the fields sending a dictionary like:
values = {'ident': ident, 'other_field': 'other_value'}
The way template originaly looked like I could have called it like:
return(dict(page='new', form=self.FileForm, title=ident, ident=ident))
but the new version is certainly better.
