Let's say I have a table like

db.define_table("phonebook",
    Field("phonenumber", represent=lambda v,r: "secret" if r.secret==True
else v),
    Field("secret","boolean", default=False)
)

The first part is simple: if I want to hide a phonenumber, I have to check
the secret field and instead of the phonenumber the word "secret" is
visible.

Now the second part: a phone number, which has been made secret, should not
be visible again. It should be possible to enter a new phonenumberor to
clear the field, but the secret-flag should only be writable, if
phonenumber is empty.

Field("secret", "boolean", writable=lambda v,r: (r.phonenumber=="") or
(v==False))

would do the job, but writable cann't be a lambda function - right?

Maybe I could use a second boolean field but it seems to become
complicated. Are there any ideas for a simple solution?

Regards, Martin
