I too have this issue with using SQLFORM.factory to edit. My model looks like:
db.define_table('upload_file', Field('doc_type', 'reference document_type', required=True, label=T('Type')), Field('pdf_name', 'upload', label=T('PDF Document'), uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder, 'uploads', 'user_data')),...) my controller looks like: ... edit_mode = len(request.args) > 0 if edit_mode: id = int(request.args[0]) q = db.upload_file.id == id rows = db(q).select() for row in rows: for field in row: if field in db.upload_file.fields: db.upload_file[field].default = row[field] ... form = SQLFORM.factory(db.upload_file, fields=fields, submit_button=T('Add to Print Queue') if not edit_mode else T('Update Queue'), upload=URL('download')) ... If I am in edit mode and hit the "Update Queue" button, I get the validation error "Please select a file", even though I have prepopulated the defaults. I have to click the "Choose File" button to select a file *again, *then it works. Please help. Thanks.
