I need to create a form (using page templates) that does roughly this: <BasicData> <selectable list of homogenous objects to attach to BasicData> <list of homogenous objects already attached to BasicData> The problem is that I can't seem to make the attached list persistent. In my action script for attaching a new list object, I check the request to see if the list is present and append the selected object to the attached object list, but the script never seems to have access to the request passed to the form. Slightly simpler test script (trying to accumulate two form variables): names=[] if request.has_key('names'): names=request.get('names') names.append ({'name':name,'age':age}) request.set('names',names) return container.form() What am I missing?
