I have a table defined as follows:

employee = db.define_table('employee',
 Field('employeeId', 'id', writable=False, label='Employee #'),
 Field('firstName', length=25, required=True, label='First Name',
 writable=False),
 Field('lastName', length=25, required=True, label='Last Name',
 writable=False),
...
 Field('departmentId', db.department, label='Department', writable=False),
 Field('supervisorId', 'reference employee', label='Supervisor', writable=
False),
 format='%(lastName)s, %(firstName)s')

db.employee.dob.requires = IS_NULL_OR(IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'))
db.employee.seniorityDate.requires = IS_NULL_OR(IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'))
db.employee.hireDate.requires = IS_NULL_OR(IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'))
db.employee.originalHireDate.requires = IS_NULL_OR(IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'))
db.employee.terminationDate.requires = IS_NULL_OR(IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'))





My supervisorId field displays correctly with the dropdown if it is 
writable, but when I set writable=False it just displays the value of the 
supervisorId field, not the assosiated employee first/last name as the 
format would dictate.  departmentId is setup to behave the same way, just 
referencing a different table and it displays the proper 'name' of the 
department when writable=False instead of the id field like supervisorId 
does.  Is this a bug?
