I think I understand what you want. Something like this.
1. User fills in a form
2. Form sent off to action - by default it's do_edit. You can over-
ride it in the template to do_pre_edit.
3. Write a new action
sub do_pre_edit : Exported {
my ($self, $r) = @_;
$r->params->{comment}= "Words";
$self->do_edit($r)
}
should be sorted. This is in Maypole::Manual::Request by the way.

Bit by bit I understand more of what goes on inside maypole. But for
every success I have, I get stumped on the next thing.
What I would like to do, is after a record as added, update one of the
fields based on a info in the new record for a foreign key. So if the
user fills in the form for a new "server" record:
Hostname:
Vendor: (drop down list for the "has_a" from the vendor
table)
I want to then update the (not displayed) field "Comment" with
something like: "for problems contact vendor: Dell"
The way I'm trying to do it now, is to override the "addnew" model
method (this is FormBuilder). I am able to change fields, but what I
can't figure how to do is get the stringified name "Dell". The user
chooses "Dell" from the select box, but the value passed back is
ID field, something like 1034.
So I'm sitting in my Addnew method, I have the variables $self, and
$r, how can I get "Dell" from 1034 out of the Vendor table.
Any help appreciated.
Jim
PS: Is there a way to use Maypole::CLI with Formbuilder?
