No, passing a table object into db.define_table() only copies the tables
fields, not its other attributes. Anyway, if you want to set the default
value for a field, you would do it using the "default" argument to Field():
standard_fields = db.Table(db, 'standard_fields',
Field('created_on', 'datetime', default=request.now))
You might also want to set writable=False.
