I found the web2py bug that caused this problem. It was an indentation
issue. Took the occasion to rewrite the logic a little better.
Can you please check this works now? You should be able to update to trunk
and your missing fields should re-appear (they will be hidden,
writable=False, readable=False) but web2py should be able to use them as
intended.
Please let me know asap.
