I would not use an additional table unless you plan to ever search by phone
numbers. I would do:
db.define_table ('institutions',
Field('name'),
Field('numbers','list:string'))
In controler:
form=SQLFORM(db.institution <http://db.institution.name/>)
In view:
{{=form}}
You can also do what you ask but you nee more logic:
db.define_table ('institutions',
Field('name'))
db.define_table ('phone',
Field('number'),
Field('institution', 'reference institutions'))
In controller:
form=SQLFORM.factory(
db.institution.name,
Field('numbers','list:string')).process()
if form.accepted:
i = db.insitution.insert(form.vars.name)
for n in form.vars.numbers: db.phone.insert(institution=i, number=n)
In view:
{{=form}}
