In a form generated by SQLFORM I'm finding that a list:reference field is represented with a single list-box. What I expected based on the section on list:<type> in the manual was a series of select boxes. Was I reading the manual wrong? If not, does anyone know why I might be getting the wrong widget presented?
Here is the relevant part of my model: db.define_table('tags', Field('tag', 'string'), format='%(tag)s') db.tags.tag.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, db.tags.tag) db.define_table('questions', Field('question', 'text', required=True), Field('answer', 'string', required=True), Field('score', default=1, required=True), Field('answer2', 'string', default='null'), Field('score2', 'double', default=0.5), Field('answer3', 'string', default='null'), Field('score3', 'double', default=0.3), Field('readable_answer', 'string', default='null'), Field('tags', 'list:reference tags'), Field('nt_frequency', 'double')) db.questions.tags.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, 'tags.id', db.tags._format, multiple=True) And here is the controller that creates the form: def create_question(): form = SQLFORM(db.questions) if form.accepts(request.vars, session): response.flash = 'form accepted' elif form.errors: response.flash = 'form has errors' else: response.flash = 'please fill out the form' return dict(form=form)
