Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reproduce my problem, for explaining we me what causes it (basically setting readable and writable on fields I want to validate, isn't it) and for providing me with a solution.
few tricks to solve: > - a custom onvalidation (of course). Doesn't get much to code over your > validator and works > - including HubID as a hidden field (if you're willing to have HubID > "published" on the source page, the normal user wouldn't see this) form = > SQLFORM(db.tie, hidden=dict(hubID=6)) sends a hidden field "hubID" with 6 > as value --> it's in request.vars --> the validator fires > I think the hidden field option is the easiest to implement, however, custom validation, prevents me from publishing the hubID ... Thanks again, Annet. --
