Hi,
As I understand, when crud.update(...) creates a form it pulls the
values of a given record into the form as a string. If the field is a
reference to another table, then this shows up as a number. I would
like to instead show the name of the record instead of the id. I have
a represent function set in the data model, but that is only used on
crud.select().
So, my question is how can I get the crud.update(...) form to render
the record values with according to the represent function specified
by the represent function of the field. Code below:
#model
db.define_table("food",
Field("desc", "string",)
)
db.define_table("ate",
Field("food_id", db.food,
represent=lambda x: db(db.food.id==x).select().first().desc
)
)
#controller
form=crud.update(db.ate,ate_id)
Thanks,
Avik
