Hi Jim, thanks for you reply. Sorry I guess I should be more specific. I have a SQLGRID form (displaying contents of table db.nextpasses) , In the SQLFORM.grid I have inserted a button called addpass so for every record in the SQLgrid I have a button addpass. When clicking "addpass" another form "addpass" is opened which should be pre-populated from the record values in the SQLform.grid in the previous form.
maybe something like this sgrid = SQLFORM.grid(db.nextpasses, links=addpass(db.addpass.field_name.default = db.nextpasses.field_name I am bit confused where I need to pass the values when initiating the lamba project addpass. thanks, John On Tuesday, February 11, 2014 10:16:28 PM UTC+1, Jim S wrote: > > Try setting the defaults on the respective fields: > > db.nextpasses.field_name.default = default_value_for_this_field > > -Jim > > On Tuesday, February 11, 2014 10:51:29 AM UTC-6, John Philip wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> I am a newbie to web2py.
