py4web - form field default - appears to not be working for me

[Jim S]

Sorry for all the py4web noob questions

I have the following:

    search_text = 'test'
    form = Form([Field('search',
                       length=50,
                       default=search_text)],
                form_name='search_form',
                formstyle=FormStyleBulma,
                keep_values=True)

I can't get the default search_text to appear in the field. 

Anything obvious I'm missing?

can you try this?

form = Form(....)

if not form.submitted: form.vars.update({field.name:field.default for field in form.table if field.default})

Maybe I can make this default behavior?

[Jim Steil]

Yes, that did the trick!

Thanks Massimo
