You are using a manual HTML form instead of {{=form}}. For an update
form you need to include
1) <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{=form.latest.id}}"
2) {{=form.hidden_field()}}
for create 1) is not necessary. Errors are in form.errors (it is a
dictionary). Because you are building the form manually, you need to
display the errors where you want them.
web2py does not build multi-table forms but you can create that
manually using form_builder or the way you are doing it:
> form=FORM(INPUT(_name="name"),INPUT(_name="description"),SELECT
> (_name="type"),SELECT(_name="subtype"),INPUT(_name="priority"),INPUT
> (_name="enabled"),INPUT(_type="submit",_value=T("Save")))
Notice that in the case below the form has no knowledge of the
database. This means accept will only do validation for you. No more.
