SQLFORM shows the values of non-writable fields but does not put those values into HTML form widgets, so they are not submitted with the form. A couple of options:
- Instead of setting writable=False, specify a custom widget for the fields with the HTML readonly attribute set to true (e.g., widget=lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _readonly=True)). With this approach, be sure to validate the non-writable values as well, as a malicious user can still submit modified values. - Create a separate object (e.g., a DAL Row) containing the non-writable field values, and make that object available within the onvalidation function (since those values are not changeable within the form, there is no reason the values must come from the form submission).
