I have an SQLFORM being used for a when-who-what type of function, for a 
table roughly like

db.define_table('stuff',
  FIELD('where', 'string'),
  FIELD('when',  'datetime'),
  FIELD('who',   'string'),
  FIELD('what',  'something'))    # 'something'  is 'upload' in actual 
code, but I don't think that matters



And my controller does


def getit():
   response.flash = T("Hello, fill out the form")
   message = T("tell me stuff")
   form = SQLFORM(db.stuff, fields=['who', 'what'])
   form.vars.where = request.client
   if form.process().accepted:
     response.flash = "Yea!"
  else:
     response.flash = "Ooops!"
  return dict(form = form, message=message)



I'd like to get the db.stuff.when field updated with the time of 
*submission*..  Would I do that as I did the where field? (using* 
req.utcnow)*.  That gets the request time of the submitting, not the time 
the empty form is built when the user first decides to tell me stuff? 
(Normally, the difference isn't important, but if the user wanders off for 
a cuppa and sees Teddy using the copier and they start discussing the 
football pools .....
