You can't keep the value that goes in the form on the client side because it's a reference to a file path on the client machine and you don't actually receive that at the server. You could keep the file itself on the server and provide some indication in the form returned to the client that the file was retained and need not be uploaded again, but web2py doesn't include any automatic functionality for that, so you'd have to code your own.
