Thadeus, Please consider some blog posts toward an immediate goal of redesign suggestions. As a new entrant into web2py, it would be handy for me (and others) to understand where the edge cases lay. In the early days of Django, I wrote a lot of forms code (pre-newforms) and I understand it's a

As fare as I can tell the problems arise from SQLFORM. Nothing prevents us from creating an alternative (as opposed to a replacement) to SQLFORM. There is a reason you have to call SQLFORM explicitly (or call crud which calls SQLFORM) and it is not implicit. The reason that one may not want to use

I also notice this change. I suggest to change its default value back to None, so that old apps behave in the same way. Or at least, let the default value be empty string '', rather than an English phrase "choose a value". The latter causes a developer have to customize it again and again when de
