In that case I think you will have to build something on your side... Maybe implement your own IS_IN_DB could be a solution... A hack could be this :
db.ips.reportedby.requires=str(IS_IN_DB()) But I don't think you will be able to define a foreign key... You will have to enforce your integrity check by yourself at the form level with validator... So, change your field definition for string only, no "db.auth_user" and by the way that was wrong model definition I didn't catch at first read... Richard On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 2:53 PM, Larry G.
