I have a simple CRUD "create" form that's driving me crazy. I want to pre-load one of the fields in the form. I want the field to show up, but be read-only so the user can see it but not change it.
I've tried setting the "default" property of the field and then making it "readable=True" and "writable=False". The field always shows up as "None" in the form. I also tried setting the form.var.fieldname=value after the form is created, but before it is rendered. Still no joy. In any case, if I make the field "writable=True" I can see the field is properly set. I can also change the field, however, which is what I'm trying to prevent. I am using the current version of web2py and going slowing insane... ;-)
