Please is theare any chance to do this? without having to go for the 3 tables apporach?
To remind you all: I have a multiselect like this one: db.py: db.define_table('instance',Field('app',db.application),Field('server',db.server),Field('type','string'),format=lambda r: '%s %s' %(db.application[r.app].name,db.server[r.server].hostname)) ... db.define_table('audienceInstances', Field('instances','list:reference instance'),Field('user',db.auth_user,writable=False, readable=False)) default.py: monitoredInstances = db.audienceInstances(db.audienceInstances.user == auth.user.id) #Generates a form for the updation of the list of monitored instances instancesForm = SQLFORM(db.audienceInstances, monitoredInstances, submit_button='Update', showid=False) if instancesForm.accepts(request.vars, session): response.flash = 'list updated' elif instancesForm.errors: response.flash = 'form has errors' With this line in index method of default.py I was able to filter the content against the product selected in the profile: db.audienceInstances.instances.requires=IS_IN_DB(db(db.instance.type==auth.user.product), 'instance.id',db.instance._format,multiple=True) The problem is, If I change the product in the profile and update the list of instances with the intstances of the newly selected product, I lost the content in database for the other instances i selected for the previous product. Is there any way to show the current instances, but keep track of peviously selected? THanks, Nico
