Yes, basic example... You need to input data into a denormalized table, so depend on the type of input you want to make product a vs b, some fields are going to be ignore or required... In this case there is many way of doing it... But I would like to be possible to define my validator once so it behave properly in any situation. web2py use individual field validator workflow, but in case of denormalized table or custom form for which you process input afterward you may need field validation that would depend on other fields input. We should have some basic way of supporting common pattern in such kind of situation to rely less on jQuery of custom validator.
