Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Generated SQLFORM form behavior sought

2013-04-25 Thread Johann Spies
What about using the keepvalues option:

From the book:

form.accepts(vars, session=None, formname='default',
 keepvalues=False, onvalidation=None,
 dbio=True, hideerror=False):

Change keepvalues to True

Regards
Johann
