Non-Editable field in SQLFORM

[Amit Kumar Modak]

Hello,

How can I make a field non-editable in SQLFORM, while it should be allowed to take a value in insert.

Regards,

Amit

This is an XY question. Can you explain your user case?

It will always be allowed to take a value in insert, a value that you assign it to, for example, via "default", like so:

db.table.field.default = some_value

To make the field non-editable to the end user, use:

db.table.field.editable = False
...
form = SQLFORM(db.table)

for the above examples, replace table with your table name and field with your field name.

You can find out the details in Chapter in 06 The database abstraction layer and 07 Forms and validators

db.table.field.writable = False -> don't write

db.table.field.readable = False  -> don't show (hide)
