Wauu, thanks Bill.
That was exact what was missing. I was looking in completly different
directions.
Anybody else reading this, the correct notation is:
format=('%(asset_category_name)s')

I'm certainly no expert but I might try to define:
ref_asset_category.format=('%(asset_category_name)s') or something
like that.
Check my syntax of course. Hope it works.

Hello,
this is my first time trying to connect to a legacy database. My
database models file looks like this:
db.define_table('ref_asset_category',
Field('asset_category_id', type='id'),
Field('asset_category_name', type='string'))
########################################
db.define_table('assets',
Field('asset_id', type='id'),
Field('asset_label', type='string'),
Field('asset_category_id', 'reference ref_asset_category'))
When using crud to edit a assets record the asset_catefory_id is only
shown as an text box, not as an drop down selection box.
What am I doing wrong?
Kenneth
