Have you looked at using mydb.mytable.myfield.default=.... pattern? You can copy standard fields this way, by selecting a record, saving it in a row, and using that as the default field. The default fields can change programmatically (so they can be different over execution, e.g. one thing at table definition, but customized in a controller).
See http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/ec1d5568db2598e6 or (if you're using t2.create) http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/a67e2aa25108dac7/b13a12a9b0c4060d?lnk=gst&q=default+form+values#b13a12a9b0c4060d Hope that helps.
