I suppose the controller is the correct place, but do I do it in the same environment where I would use keepvalues? I don't want the values to be written directly to the database. The "db.table.field.default" is confusing me a little bit. Also: where can I read a little bit about "previous_form"? I did not find anything in the book. Maybe it is something for the new book.

You can use db.table.field.default=previous_form.vars.field to propagate the values forward.. On Jul 26, 6:41 am, Johann Spies wrote: > Is there a way to do the "keepvalues" thing per field?
