The "form" variable doesn't even exist yet. Also, form vars are just values, they are not DAL Field objects, so they do not have a "default" attribute. > db.auth_user.partyID.readable = db.auth_user.partyID.writable = False > ## don't let user see field thinking they have to fill it in > db.Party.partyTypeID.readable = db.Party.partyTypeID.writable = False > ## don't let user see field thinking they have to fill it in > Before creating the form, you can set the default value for the Field object: db.Party.partyTypeID.default = 1 > form=SQLFORM.factory(db.Party,db.auth_user) > if form.process().accepted: > partyID = db.Party.insert(**db.Party._filter_fields(form.vars)) > form.vars.partyID=partyID > partyID = > db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars)) > ## form.element(_name='partyTypeID').update_record(_value=1) > ########### > tried this > form.element() searches the form HTML DOM and returns the INPUT() object -- it is not a DAL Row object and therefore does not have an update_record() method. > ## update_record(partyTypeID=1) ########### tried this > That wouldn't work unless you had defined your own update_record() function (and in any case, there's no indication of what is being updated). > ## form.vars.partyTypeID=1 ########### tried this > This should work, but as the book indicates, it should happen after the form is created, but before it is processed.
