So I'm not sure if I understand this one-liner to properly use it. Request.args(-1) doesn't quite make sense to me...i would think you'd have to index into it starting at 0?
If I place the line in the model or in my function that renders the smartgrid form the field is disabled completely. If you try to both create a new record or edit an existing record it is disabled. Again to clarify i'd like to be able to set the field when creating a new record, but once it has been created you can't edit the field in the smartgrid (but if you create a new record you can edit again). thanks for your help.
