I know that the request object stores all the informations about the current request, i.e. cookies, server data, form data and input headers.

So, i get request using this syntax: r = context.request And using .set it is possible to change values of variables stored in request. Now the question: why

r.set( 'name', 'newvalue' ) # changes a variable in 'option' section of request works, and

r.set( r.form[ 'variable_in_form' ], 'newvalue' ) does not?

It does, but probably in a different way as you expect: It sets the variable with name obtained by evaluating "r.form['variable_in_form']" to 'newvalue'. When you want to change the variable in the form itself, you can use: r.form.update({'variable_in_form' : 'newvalue'}) Dieter
