This is not wrong.
The problem is that your field has type='list:string' but you did not
set requires=IS_IN_SET(('aaa','bbb','ccc')) or requires=IS_IN_DB(...)
Without the validator web2py does not know which options are valid and
which ones are not and does not know how to make a dropbox.
You have a valid point though. There should be a default validator
that allows to write strings separated by a comma or something like
plugin tagging. Such validator has not yet been created.
