True, but that is the case whether or not you assign the virtual field during or after table definition. If you want the virtual field to know its table name, you have to do Field.Virtual(..., table_name='mytable'). As for virtual fields not belonging to db.table.fields, that is intentional, as they are not regular fields. Instead, you will find the virtual fields in db.table._virtual_fields (whether assigned during or after table definition). What is your use case?
