I'd like to suppress some fields in a SQLFORM. Imagine that a user is filling out a form to create or edit a record, and his user_id is a column in the record. We need to populate the user_id, but he should never see it.
If I declare the field as writable=False,readable=False then nobody with more privilege could ever use a SQLFORM (or crud.create, crud.update, etc) to access the field. I need it suppressed just in certain instances. Also, if the SQLFORM accepts, web2py needs to know what to put in that field. Should I retire SQLFORM and use a FORM, or is there some magic I can use to accomplish this. I want to say I appreciate all this help. Thanks, Massimo and all. Ed Greenbeg
