Thanx. Works like a charm.
One more question though. How to change the links in table for view, Edit, delete. Now I have only hyperlinked text, while I would like to have buttons? 2014-07-16 16:21 GMT+02:00 Anthony <abasta...@gmail.com>: > #Validators >> * db.worker.w_status.requires = IS_IN_DB(db,db.status.s_code) # This >> created drop down but does not insert the right value into field* >> > > 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).
