Hello, I thought a nice addition for users that have to do data entry, would have a way to save data in memory. For example, a user does not know the value entry for a field that can not be null, but he grabbed a long comment in a text box. He does not want to have to enter a second time and that is what will happen if he submitted his form and it is not complete. The user may also voluntarily make an entry into several stages, a way to save the entered information would be very interesting for him.
I have different ideas on how to add this functionality to my application, but I wonder what you would do ... Web2py not win it not to provide such support. Here are some solutions I am considering: 1) remaining in the session data is not yet subject and if the user tries to make a new entry to the table informing him that he already has a form waiting to be complete (save for short) 2) pickling results which entry can be completed (this would not be too efficient disk access) 3) create an additional table for the results not meeting the constraints of the form and permit the backup using a backup button ...
