Because w_status is a reference field, it must store the record ID from the db.status table, not the s_code value (which is a text field). If you want the dropdown to display the s_code values, you must use the "label" argument (which is the third argument): IS_IN_DB(db, db.status.id, '%(s_code)s') However, there is an easier way. In your model definitions, (1) define the status table *before* the worker table (usually a good idea to define referenced tables before the tables that reference them) and (2) in the status table definition, add format='%(s_code)s'. If you do that, you don't have to define a validator for the w_status field at all -- it will automatically get a default validator like the one specified above.
