Is there something else which needs to be setup to accomplish this? I
currently have...
db.define_table('brands',
Field('brand_name', type='string', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),
label=T('Brand Name')),
Field('active', type='boolean',
label=T('active')))
form = SQLFORM(db.brands,hidden=dict(active=True))
However when the form is displayed the field ('active') still shows up
visible.
