Or better yet, store the validator object in a variable and use that: isnotindb=IS_NOT_IN_DB(...) db.company.CoC_number.requires=isnotindb
and in the action: isnotindb.set_self_id(company[0].id) then it does not matter if the field uses more validators, since you could for example do: db.company.CoC_number.requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(),isnotindb] and the statement with set_self_id would still work.
