Yes, the hidden input values do seem to appear in request.post_vars. I call form.accepts(), like so: form.accepts(request.post_vars, formname=None) And even so, only the non-hidden field is saved to the database. On Oct 25, 12:43 pm, mdipierro wrote: > The hidden fields will be in request.vars

The hidden fields will be in request.vars but not in form.vars because accepts does not know they are supposed to be there and protects you from injection attacks. You can also try use this: form=SQLFORM(,hidden=dict(key='value')) Massimo On Oct 24, 11:39 pm, Ruiwen Chua wrote: > Apologie
