[web2py] Re: Self Referential references in models not getting id decoded automatically

[Mark Kirkwood]

A simpler fix for the edit/add functions is to specify a format in the 
model:

db.dog.sire_id.requires = IS_EMPTY_OR(IS_IN_DB(db, 'dog.id', '%(name)s'))
(Hmm ... suspect I had that there before at some stage which, but edited 
the format away when I was trying to pin down the other problems - 
oops). Anyway, thanks for the help!
