db create/update UTF8 chars fails

[Jorge Salvat]

Since 3 months ago,  forms that create/update text or string fields containing UTF8 characters won't update on db.

In   showcase   app,   /create_form.py   and   /update_form/3

If you enter a name like:  Inés España

it fails to update the db.

The problem is related to the correction of a bug in the grid when using search_queries.

Details are in this thread
https://groups.google.com/g/py4web/c/fuI6I_7LbSk/m/AZYm7kmqAAAJ

search_queries works fine but seems to have side effects on the forms when typing characters like ñ, àèìòù and the like.

Now at line 785 of form.py
original_value = post_vars.get(field.name)

When field.name has characters like above post_vars.get(field.name) returns None.

Seems to be in problem in FormsDict.getunicode()

I recently had raised a similar issue with special characters as ≥, ”, – , just to name a few. It always saves a None value and if you have a validator such as 'IS_NOT_EMPTY()' for the field, you get an error: 'Entera value'

I hope it's related.

Is There is any fix/workaround  for this ?

Any help is appreciated!.
