Ok Fabiano, no issue with SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget... I didn't know exactly how it works :)
In this thread look for Bruno's answers that how I figure out how to pass the proper default to widget : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/web2py/%5Bweb2py%5D$20requires$20and$20T()/web2py/f60S4rwwHnY/w8w4hPMYMigJ Basically, since there is multiple checkboxes you need to define a IS_IN_SET requires with your options set (your check boxes) and then you can define a default by passing to default the label of what you use as label for the differents checkboxe in your defined set. Here a example : form = SQLFORM.factory( Field('test', type='boolean', requires=IS_IN_SET([1,2,3], multiple=True), widget=SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget, default = 3), I pass to default "3" since that the box that I want to be ckecked by default. In order to pass more then one choice you just pass a list to default like this : form = SQLFORM.factory( Field('test', type='boolean', requires=IS_IN_SET([1,2,3], multiple=True), widget=SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget, default = [2,3]), formstyle='divs' ) Hope it helps... I appreciate answer your question since it helps me understand something I will have to cover in the coming days for a particular form. Ciao!
