I have a straight-forward controller function for entering the primary data:
def index(): """ """ response.flash = T("Hello World") form = SQLFORM(db.QuarterMaster) form.vars.PostDate = str(request.now.year) + "-" + str(request.now.month ) + "-" + str(request.now.day) if form.process().accepted: form.vars.PostDate = request.vars.PostDate response.flash = T("Thank you!") elif form.errors: response.flash = T("Please correct the errors in the form") else: response.flash = T("Please fill out the form") return dict(form=form) The intial display of the form shows the current date correctly (give or take a leading 0), but after submission the PostDate field is empty. I would like to have it default to what was used the previous time through, but it appears that value is dropped after the accepted branch. What do I need to do? It does not work to replace the top part with: form = SQLFORM(db.QuarterMaster) if request.vars.PostDate: form.vars.PostDate = request.vars.PostDate else: form.vars.PostDate = str(request.now.year) + "-" + str(request.now. month) + "-" + str(request.now.day) if form.process().accepted: # here was form.vars.PostDate = request.vars.PostDate Thanks.
