First, shouldn't that be name="ownerUserId" and candidate.ownerUserId?
Note, hidden fields are not really part of the form object and do not get
processed with the other form fields. They are merely added to the HTML
when the form is serialized in the view so the hidden field values come
back with the form submission. It is then up to you to do whatever you want
with those values manually. If you want them to be processed as regular
fields of the database table, I think you could do something like:
candidate_form = SQLFORM(db.candidate, candidate_record,
hidden=dict(ownerUserId=candidate_record.ownerUserId))
candidate_form.vars.ownerUserId = request.vars.ownerUserId
candidate_form.process()
Anyway, I think the other method might be better because you don't have to
bother including and manually manipulating hidden fields, and it won't
unnecessarily run validators on the non-updated fields.
