If you do please let us know.
trying to insert a walk (after inserting a person and a walk), gives Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 184, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/root/web2py/applications/test/controllers/appadmin.py", line 304, in <module> File "/root/web2py/gluon/globals.py", line 103, in <lambda> self._caller = lambda f: f() File "/root/web2py/applications/test/controllers/appadmin.py", line 123, in insert form = SQLFORM(db[table], ignore_rw=ignore_rw) File "/root/web2py/gluon/sqlhtml.py", line 613, in __init__ inp = self.widgets.options.widget(field, default) File "/root/web2py/gluon/sqlhtml.py", line 199, in widget options = requires0.options() File "/root/web2py/gluon/validators.py", line 346, in options self.build_set() File "/root/web2py/gluon/validators.py", line 333, in build_set records = self.dbset.select(*self.fields, **dd) File "/root/web2py/gluon/sql.py", line 2901, in select rows = response(query) File "/root/web2py/gluon/sql.py", line 2896, in response db._execute(query) File "/root/web2py/gluon/sql.py", line 846, in <lambda> self._execute = lambda *a, **b: self._cursor.execute(*a, **b) OperationalError: no such column: dog.owner_name Actually, why is it not possible to do a db.walk.dog.requires = IS_IN_DB(db,'dog.id','%(name)s by %(owner.name)s') directly? probably I'm missing some python knowledge.
