I have currently this multiselect generated by list:references: db.py:
db.define_table('instance',Field('app',db.application),Field('server',db.server),Field('type','string'),format=lambda r: '%s %s' %(db.application[r.app].name,db.server[r.server].hostname)) ... db.define_table('audienceInstances', Field('instances','list:reference instance'),Field('user',db.auth_user,writable=False, readable=False)) default.py: monitoredInstances = db.audienceInstances(db.audienceInstances.user == auth.user.id) #Generates a form for the updation of the list of monitored instances instancesForm = SQLFORM(db.audienceInstances, monitoredInstances, submit_button='Update', showid=False) if instancesForm.accepts(request.vars, session): response.flash = 'list updated' elif instancesForm.errors: response.flash = 'form has errors' That shows a list select among all instances. But what if I'd like to show a subset of that list, I mean I added a type field in instance table, and like to get the instances of the type the user has selected in its profile. The only way I can think of is creating a separate audienceInstances table for each type. Is there any othere way? Thanks, Nico
