Thanks for this hint, but that doesn't seem to work. If I apply this to the field in either model or controller, i get following error: .... File "gluon/sqlhtml.py", line 782, in __init__ File "gluon/dal.py", line 5247, in formatter File "gluon/validators.py", line 807, in formatter TypeError: expected a character buffer object
If I use fixed value (eg .. requires=IS_DECIMAL_IN_RANGE(dot=",") ...) the conversion seems to work.
