Hi Massimo,
I've tried:
_update_clip_fields=[
'title',
'description',
'tags',
'length'
]
post_save=SQLFORM(db.videos,fields=_update_clip_fields)
if post_save.accepts(post_save,session):
response.flash="Updated Video"
return dict(_video=_video,post_save=post_save)
But I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
