Let me be more acurate , this is a stripped down version of my app:in my model i have defined the test table, db.define_table('test', Field('message'), Field('saved_on','datetime', default = datetime.now()), ) if if my action i have something like def create(): form = crud.create('test') return dict(form=form) and in my create view {{=form}} If I try now to load this view in my browser the form generated will already contains a datetime field with a default value equals to the time i have loaded this form . If i wait 5 minutes to fill the form and then press the submit button then my saved_on field will not contains the time i have submited the form but the time i have generated it. Which is not the right timestamp i want to store. I would like to know what you, or other web2py users , would recommend me to store the submit time instead of the form creation time in my DB.
Do not specify a default in the model. Instead let the database handle it. -- Adrian Klaver [email protected]
