So I guess it is because the oldpriority=_.int(REQUEST.oldpriority)-1) doesn't work. The values (before the <dtml-call>-statement is: id=1 priority=1 ServerNetid=2 oldpriority=2
When the script has been called the values are: id=1 priority=2 ServerNetid=2 priority=2 (and this should be 1)

Two things:
1) Your second example says "priority=2" but I think it meant "oldpriority=2" (or 1). Is that a verbatim cut-and-paste, or is it just a typing error?
It was a type error. It should say oldpriority.
2) You give the values "when the script has been called" but you don't say if those are the actual values that are returned by the form itself. In other words, if you think you are getting the wrong data from the form, you need to make sure the form contains and returns the right values. If it doesn't, you need to get the form built correctly first. If it does, you need to make sure you are extracting the vaues from the form correctly.
It isn't a form it's extracted from. I have a link (an <A HREF> that calls the script. So I can see that the values there are correct.
When this part is working correctly - and not before - then you can go on to look at the database method and see if it is actually constructed correctly

Well I knew that it was correct. I have changed some column names in the database and when I changed the variable names according to the column names, it worked. I don't know what the problem was - but it is solved now.
