I don't think this can be done with crud, but I'm always ready and expecting to be amazed by some hidden web2py secret. In theory, I don't see why one shouldn't be able to give crud a list of records to be updated and then have crud build the form with multiple record entries. This could be mighty useful IMHO. However, my understanding is that crud is for updating 1 table, 1 record at a time. Custom forms and such are the way to go for more complex behaviors.
