You can differentiate based on the request, like this: if len(request.args) > 2 and request.args[-3] == 'edit': fields = [] # what you want to show for editing else: fields = [] # what you want to show on the initial grid
form=SQLFORM.grid(blah, ... fields=fields ...) This is handy for lots of things. Beware of this, though: if len(request.args) > 1 and request.args[-2]=='new': Anyway, you get the picture.
