Well I may have spoke too soon...
I have another table...this one:
db.define_table('t_ab_team',
[snip]
Field('f_distribuionname', type='string',
label=T('Distribuionname')),
And I want to link the above field so that it show a drop down list
also using the contents of the following field
db.define_table('t_ab_distribution',
Field('f_distributionname', type='string', unique=True,
label=T('Distributionname')),
So I tried this as I had before with the other drop down list that I
wanted:
Field('f_distribuionname', db.t_ab_distribution,
label=T('Distribuionname')),
Now I have broken something. Is this because I cannot explicitly link
both
db.t_ab_recipient.f_distribution_name ###would like this to show a
drop down list
db.t_ab_team.f_distribuionname ###would like this to show a
drop down list
to
db.t_ab_distribution.f_distributionname ###contents of drop downlist
or am I doing something else wrong?
