Hey there, There seems to be a bug in the latest version of web2py.
Steps: 1. Create a table with a custom field 2. Try inserting the record 3. You'll notice that the custom field evaluates to None 4. Try updating the record, the custom field will show this time. Workaround: 1. Insert the record first. 2. Update it again with the value of the custom field. Would love to see this fixed ASAP.
