web2py write in lowercase in UPEERCASE field

Question

i've got a " requires = IS_UPPER()" field in my table, i need to sometimes write in lowercase, there is a way to do that? I have tried to use html quote or unicode tag but without any results. Thank you

You can set the validator conditionally:

if some_condition:
    db.mytable.myfield.requires = None # or some other validator
