Alex, I think you want to add input in the generated form and this is possible with jQuery but it leed to a list of values instead of value in your form.vars.var...
This thread contains many informations about that : https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/UK8NZ1VMlNk/lRqxKgS10ScJ But in your case you may consider web2py component... Your child field could be in the component form and the parent field in the main form that is submit only once by the component form... I have no code sample for you... But I think you can figured out by yourself. In the book there is differents piece of doc that could help about the component and multiple form per page and a example where you can have only one submit button with jQuery and submit 2 or more form... What I propose is a kind of a hack since there is no easy way to add input put in web2py (or dynamic form).
