That is done here:

Look into the action tags()

 I have a question I have not been able to answer for myself.

 In the web2py cookbook, there is this suggested model for handling tags:

 db.define_table('data', Field('value')) 
 db.define_table('tag', Field('record_id', db.data), Field('name')) 

 I like that. But I have struggled with the correct way to handle the form 
 for the data entity. I want a create/edit form that allows the entry of 
 any fields in the data entities table as well as tags for the entity 
 (like, say, Wordpress). I am using SQLFORM to handle the form processing of 
 the data table form elements. But how would I handle the tags input? What 
 is the recommended way of creating/updating the tags?

 Thanks
