The fact is that you know more about web2py and details than me :-)
I learned about form.custom after I had done my function and used it in my
views. But even then I didn't know about the split form.custom.end[1] to
get hidden fields.
By the way I do not think it is in the book, you may add it.

Thank you for teaching us ;-)
