Web3py FORM referenced fields

[John Bannister]

Hi All,

Does anyone have a working example of web3py Form using referenced fields?

I have created the standard person / pets tables with pets referencing person as 'reference person' in the table definition.

Using form=Form(db.pet) I get the dropdown of persons for the add no worries but on the form=Form(db.pet, record=id) for the edit form .. neither the id of the person or the persons name (format='%(name)s' is displayed even though I can still select from the dropdown list. The id is definately stored in the db.

Hi Massimo,

 

Issue is not the dropdown for referenced fields on an Add rec as  that works fine. Issue is when you want to edit a record with a referenced field so

 

form=Form(db.order, record=id)

 

Referenced field is blank (although dropdown is available). All other fields are populated with db values.
