Hi, Massimo, thanks for the solution, it looks totally fine but I just wasn't clear enough on this - my bad.
The thing is I'm using crud.update() to generate the form I described earlier. How would I adapt your code to crud? I could use "onaccept" but it's triggered after the update nad before redirect. In my case I must influence crud.update() so it performs the additional action I need *during*the update.
