Why

def test1():
    form=SQLFORM.factory(Field("bool","boolean"))

    if FORM.accepts(form, request.vars, session, keepvalues=True):
        db.test.insert(bool=request.vars.bool)

    return dict(form=form,list=db().select(db.test.ALL))

and not

def test1():
    form=SQLFORM.factory(Field("bool","boolean"))

    if form.accepts(request.vars, session, keepvalues=True):
        db.test.insert(bool=request.vars.bool)

    return dict(form=form,list=db().select(db.test.ALL))

?

Please check the latter, it should work fine. I check why the former
does not.
