I believe your FORM needs a totalitems field or INPUT. At least
that's what I experienced with SQLFORM.factory.
Needed a Field('totalitems', readable=False, writable=False) to match
if I was passing hidden=dict(totalitems='1').
I often choose SQLFORM or .factory for the ability to customize the
form in the view with CSS.
I have not tested this but perhaps adding an INPUT(_type='hidden',
_name='totalitems', _value='1') to your FORM may work.
Maybe look into SQLFORM and SQLFORM.factory

Best of luck and I'm sure at least one genius on this list will have
the answer if I wasn't of any help, this community is almost
unbelievably helpful...almost :)
