The problem is that here: testform = SQLFORM(db.products,db(db.products.product_id==request.post_vars.pid).select(), fields=['product_id','price','pro_type','tags','category','description']))
the result of a select is a Rows and not a Row. Do you know there is a single matching record? In this case: testform = SQLFORM(db.products,db(db.products.product_id==request.post_vars.pid).select().first(), fields=['product_id','price','pro_type','tags','category','description'])) or testform = SQLFORM(db.products, db.products(product_id=request.post_vars.pid), fields=['product_id','price','pro_type','tags','category','description'])) Mind that the pid of the product you want to edit should not be a POST parameter but a GET parameter. According to REST it is used to identify the resource you want to edit therefore it belongs to the URL not to the posted data.
