Im currently creating a website for a geology museum. Each exhibit in the 
museum contains different collections (or categories) of minerals, and each 
collection has a handful of individual minerals that are being shown at 
this museum. The part that I am currently working on is to allow an admin 
to select a featured image of a specific item in each collection via a drop 
down box within the collection table. However, the validation of this field 
is acting up. Here is the code:

db.geo_collection.f_featured_img.requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 
(geo_item.f_collection_id == geo_collection.id),lambda row: '%s' % 
row.f_name)

The comparison in this line of code (geo_item.f_collection_id == 
geo_collection.id) is not working, stating that I am unpacking too many 
values. 

Here is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/SIRI/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 217, in restricted
    exec ccode in environment
  File "/home/SIRI/web2py/applications/mqr/models/db_wizard.py" 
<https://siri.pythonanywhere.com/admin/default/edit/mqr/models/db_wizard.py>, 
line 148, in <module>
    db.geo_collection.f_featured_img.requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 
(db.geo_item.f_collection_id == db.geo_collection.id),lambda row: '%s' % 
row.f_name)
  File "/home/SIRI/web2py/gluon/validators.py", line 497, in __init__
    (ktable, kfield) = str(field).split('.')
ValueError: too many values to unpack


I believe that the tuple "(ktable, kfield)" is the reason why I'm unpacking 
too many values, since it requires one table and one field, and I have a 
table and *two* fields. The question that I have is 
*how can I reference these items in my table without breaking the code?*
Some extra info, I have tried to change the IS_IN_DB to IS_IN_SET, but 
received an error stating that "<type 'exceptions.TypeError'> 'Query' 
object does not support indexing".

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
John
