[web2py] Re: field attributes outside field definition.

[Annet]

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure I completely understand **attributes 
does. Is it documented somewhere?

Will this work:

attributes = 
dict(type='datetime',default=request.now,requires=IS_DATETIME(format='%Y-%m-%d 
%H:%M:%S'),writable=False,readable=False,represent = lambda v, row: 
v.strftime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S') if v else '')

db.define_table('node',
    ...
    Field('createdOn',**attributes),
    Field('modifiedOn',default=request.now,**attributes),
    ...)

db.define_table('organization',
    ...
    Field('createdOn',**attributes),
    Field('modifiedOn',default=request.now,**attributes),
    ....)

db.define_table('person',
    ...
    Field('createdOn',**attributes),
    Field('modifiedOn',default=request.now,**attributes),
    ....)


Kind regards,

Annet
