That's great. Thanks - I simply hadn't thought that I could switch which table the IS_IN_DB 'table.value_field' argument was pointing to in order to shift which fields were available.
To give the specific answer for my case: db.datasets.project_id.requires = IS_IN_DB(query, 'project_details.project_id', '(%(project_id)s) %(title)s', zero='Select project.')
