The fields in your form are called "type", "name", "csvdata", "checkbox"
Your url is passing vars "admin", "email" "name" and "profile" So only "name" may be copied from request.vars to form.vars Anyway it is not copied because: 1) the from requires "csvdata" to be NOT_EMPTY and you are not passing that 2) you are using form.accepts(request.vars,session): Which is desigend to prevent double submissions and various types of attacks by hiding hidden one time tokens in the form and preventing validation if the form if the token is not returned. You can disable this by using form.accepts(request.vars,formname=None): and the request.vars.name will be copied in form.vars.name Hope this makes sense.
