How are you inputting records into db.metrics? If via a web2py grid or
SQLFORM, the drop-down will have the tier names rather than the IDs (due to
the fact that you have specified format='%(name)s'). If you need to do
inserts programmatically outside of a form, you can just do a lookup in the
db.tiers table:
tier_id = db.tiers(name='some name')
