I have the following code snippet:
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('members', 'list:string',
requires=IS_LIST_OF(IS_IN_DB(db, 'auth_user.email', '%(email)s')),
))
form.vars.members = current_emails
This does not work. if current_email is ['[email protected]'] for instance, then the
field gets populated with the string '[[email protected]]' (including the square
brackets!).
I tried also:
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('members', 'list:string',
requires=IS_LIST_OF(IS_IN_DB(db, 'auth_user.email', '%(email)s')),
default=current_emails
))
but this causes an even weirder problem. If the user enters [email protected], and
[email protected] as the two emails, assuming they do not belong to any user, then
the form is redisplayed with a notice that there were errors, but on EACH
of the two entries of the form, the single email addresses are BOTH
replaced with the string "['[email protected]', '[email protected]']" .
I guess this is a bug?
How can I specify the initial value for a list:string field in a
SQLFORM.factory form?
Many thanks!
