Because it's not in 'form' As Massimo says you can use: form.vars[hiddenfield] = request.vars[hiddenfield] > next i tried was your suggestion about processing the field manually > in the "if form.accepts" part. the problem i'm finding is that > form.accepts returns True or False rather than [id] or False. so i did > this: > a=form.accepts(request.vars,session) > if a: > ... > but when i printed a, it printed not as 1 or 2 but as True. so it > doesn't seem to be returning the identity that i would need in order > to process an update. am i missing something there? What I meant by 'processing' was the validation & DB insert, not using form.accepts (that applies to 'form', this var wasn't in 'form'). Looking at this again, I guess that's hard for a create form...an update form would be fine...
