Thanks, I got what I wanted this morning. Adding it here to improve my
question as well.
I originally used this from the literature:
Field('modified_by', 'reference auth_user',
default=auth.user_id, update=auth.user_id, writable=False),
This is what I needed:
Field('modified_by', 'string',
default=auth.user.email, update=auth.user.email, writable=False),
1. I don't think I need the 'reference' as no code other than the model is
every going to be updating the field because it has a default and update
and is not writable.
2. Once without the reference, I can set the field to text type and copy
what I want.
3. Note to corporate types: I'll be using this with active directory, so I
expect auth.user.username would be the better field. I used
auth.user.email in the example because that is available out of the box.
