First, note that you are not limited to using a lambda -- you can use any
function/callable. So, if you need to do an assignment, write a separate
function.
In this case, though, you can instead use the .update method:
db.solicitacao._before_update.append(lambda qset, f:
f.update(cadastro=request.now if f['status'] in ['Edição', 'Enviado']
else None))
Also, note that the first argument passed to the callback is the set
object, not the fields; and the fields object is a dictionary, so you have
to do f['status'] rather than f.status.
