As Anthony suggested in the workarounds:
--
city_widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(request, db.city.name,
id_field=db.city.id)
city_widget.url = URL(args=request.args, vars=request.get_vars)
db.person.city.widget = city_widget
--
turn to another problem, this is the content of request.vars for the
callback from autocomplete:
<Storage {'step': '1?_autocomplete_city_name=xx'}>
It should be:
<Storage {'step': '1' , '_autocomplete_city_name': 'xx'}>
As you can see, autocomplete just add his parameters to the url
assuming there are no other.
