Hello, I have an high customized SQLFORM.factory() form... I set default value for the update form for which I have no problem with values types as they get out of the database... But in case I want to emulate keepvalue feature with this form I need to pass value to request.vars which I need to set as default... The problem is that all value are string when I get them and I need to populate many fields and would greatly prefer not have to handle each fields manually one by one but instead do it dynamically so if I had field to the table I don't have to add it... So I am searching a way to convert appropriately value for each field type... I could use the approach proposed in the answer accepted hear : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7402573/use-type-information-to-cast-values-stored-as-strings
I there surely such a thing in the web2py internal... I thought _filter_fields() would do it, but it only filter field that are member of a table, it doesn't act over the value of the field... I thought of using requires/validator, but I am not sure how to use them.
