Hello: I have added a comment to the ticket:
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=342 It is an approach to the issue, based in Anthony's proposal: a class that stores multiple T objects. I am demetrio's companion. We develop the same application, but we have different roles :), so I will test this approach, and other possible solutions. Regards.
