Hello,

My goal is to represent the name instead of the field id here is my model:

db.define_table('vendors',
         Field('name','string'),
         Field('vendor_location','string'),
         format='%(name)s', migrate=True)

db.define_table('product',
         Field('product_code','string'),
         Field('product_name','string'),
         Field('product_price','string'),
         Field('product_owner', 'reference vendors'),
         Field('description','text'),
         Field('image','string', label='Image Path'),
         #Field('product_picture', 'upload', 
uploadfield='product_picture_file'),
         #Field('product_picture_file', 'blob'),
         format=lambda r: '%s' % (r.product_owner.name), migrate=True)


The problem is when I try to select the field it only shows me the id and 
not the name of the referenced record. I've seen a few of Anthony's post, 
but I can't seem to wrap my head around what's happening.

Here you'll see it returns the product_owner as 2L instead of the actual 
name of the owner. Is my format/representation messed up in my model?

In [1]: products = db(db.product.id>0).select()In [2]: products.first()Out[2]: 
<Row {'product_owner': 2L, 'description': 'This is my product description', 
'image': '../static/images/image2.png', 'id': 1L, 'product_price': '13.99', 
'product_code': '0001', 'product_name': 'my great product'}>
