That worked, thanks. I took the computed field route. For other newbies
like me, this is my code, for the time being very simple, but shows what I
am doing:
def reserve_org_id(row):
return random.randint(0, 10000)
db.define_table(
auth.settings.table_user_name,
...
Field('org_id', 'integer', compute=reserve_org_id),
...
format='%(first_name)s %(last_name)s')
I guess the other option would be very similar (I guess the function is
also called with a row object - it is not specified in the documentation)
