That would be a great solution, but i´ve to do this in model because i am using the awesome JQGrid plugin (app.ebansoftware.net/ editable_jqgrid/). The dilemma is: - I need to do this in the model - I can`t get the vars from table.field.default (self-evident) - I need a working IS_IN_DB(db,'table.id','table.name') validator and label (for the JQGrid plugin) - I can´t add an aditional validator (because IS_IN_DB +label don´t show up right, when combined with other validators) - The form must be visible to the user, so i can´t go with table.field.compute
So I think to implement this with Field default function is the right approach? But I need to catch the vars, compute someth. and Insert. Any ideas?
