Oh, I see, here is what's happening: I now have the following code:
db.product._format = lambda row: 'test' grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.flavor) The table flavor has a column referencing the table product. So, the grid displays the product column correctly now (with _format - this is where just 'format' doesn't work and '_format" does). However, when I add a new record to the flavor table (via the grid), I expect the product column in the insert record form to contain a drop down list of records from the product table to be represented by the same _format setting - perhaps I am making a wrong assumption? So this column in adding new record form ignores the _format. Is this by design? Isn't the format option supposed to work the same way in the new record form, as well as in the grid listing all the records?
