I am new to web2py and am writing my first app. I would like to pre-
populate an SQLFORM field of type list:string with a list of strings
and then display the form. The problem is that the syns always
displays a one text box with a string that is either values separated
by '|' or values or a string representation of a list.
However, if I display a row already in the database with
crud.update(), the list:string field is represented by a list of text
fields, one per value, which is what I want. Is there a way to pre-
populate the list:string field so it shows a list of text fields, one
per value? Thanks,
Chuck Paulson
db.define_table('syntable',
Field('phrase', 'string'),
Field('syns', 'list:string'))
form = SQLFORM(db.syntable)
form.vars.phrase = word
#form.vars.syns = '|'+'|'.join(wordlist)+'|'
form.vars.syns = wordlist
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
redirect(URL('test',args=myid))
