Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a form that mainly gets its data from a single table, 
there are however 

some fields that cannot be handled by SQLFORM. For instance I have in my 
table a PostGIS

geography field holding the position of a point that I would like to update 
 using text fields for latitude 

and longitude. After some reading and googling I figured a possible 
solution would be to use the 

SQLFORM.factory with a mix of fields coming from the model defined database 
table and 'dummy' fields to

be handled directly by the controller during the updates. I was wondering 
if there is a way to populate the fields

coming directly from the table in an automated way such as the one SQLFORM 
would provide, and also how to 

preload the remaining fields according to my logic (should I use the 
dafault value property dinamically assigning the 

required value?). Any suggestion is much appreciated.
