Re: [web2py] Re: form.process().accepted: question..

I think you meant something like this form.vars.uuid=cal_uuid() if form.process().accepted: this way i can ignore uuid in the form 2016-12-13 9:55 GMT+00:00 António Ramos : > Antony if i remove the uuid field from the form then when i save it the > uuid field

Re: [web2py] Re: form.process().accepted: question..

Antony if i remove the uuid field from the form then when i save it the uuid field will be set to None. uuid is a computed field.You said *presumably you have access to the original value on the server from the database record,* how Regards António 2016-12-12 20:45 GMT+00:00 Anthony

You could instead use _readonly=True or put a copy in a hidden field with the same name. But keep in mind that you should still validate the data on the server. Alternatively, presumably you have access to the original value on the server from the database record, so why not just use that
