I have been doing this. But I am now writing my own form as the
generic one does not work well for some of my fields. I need to add
"helper" text after some of the fields to give extra info to the
students about the field. I am having problems with the form creation
but Massimo (and whoever else) hopefully can take a look at it and
find out why the fields aren't being populated with values from the
DB. This is what I'm trying to get to work:
<input name="last_name" value="{{=form.latest.last_name}}" />
All I get is None for the field value on the form.
