You can always access the db.table._format attribute directly and pass a row to it (exactly how depends on whether it is a string or a lambda), but what exactly are you trying to do? The format attribute is used to format a single reference field from another table, but in your code above, it looks like you want to transform entire rows and append them to a list of rows. Can you show your models and exactly what you are trying to achieve? Anthony
