I am trying to program the ability to create a new record that defaults to a 
copy of an existing record. The records include an image that I would also 
like to use but can't seem to figure out how to pass it in to the SQLFORM.

For editing records, I do this which works fine:
form = SQLFORM(db.item, item, upload=(URL('static', 'uploads')))

For the other input fields, i'm just doing something simple like this:
form.vars.title = ref_item.title

I'd like to do something like:
form.vars.image = ref_item.image

Or something like this (without "item" since it's a new record):
form = SQLFORM(db.item, upload=(URL('static', 'uploads')))

Also, I have a compute field to generate a thumbnail.

Has anyone done anything like this?
