Question

Using the GAE-helper ReferencePropertyField to show possible groups that a user can be in.

How do I make it show the what group the user currently is in when editing the user?

The selectfield works fine, I can change the group of the user and the changes are written to the datastore, but I can’t figure out how to set the current value when redering the form.

I have tried using

form.field.data = current_data

but with no luck.

Anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

Is current_data a string? If not try using str(current_data) to convert, I had a similar issue using either entity keys or ids as values on a SelectField.
