Is your goal simply to make sure the user gets redirected to 'index' after
submitting the form? If that's the case, then you don't have to set a custom
form action at all. If you leave the form action empty, the form will be
submitted back to the action that generated it (which is how web2py form
processing typically works). By specifying the 'next' argument of
crud.create(), crud will automatically redirect the user to 'index' after a
successful form submission.
