Hi all, with SQLFORM.factory allows you very easily to create form in order to insert data but when you have to edit the same form you will find many problems. Your idea of changing the default values is nice and actually could solve this lack but from my point of view it would be nice to have something better already built-in in SQLFORM.factory.
