What I do is,

========= Perl=========
get '/edit/:id' => sub {
template 'customer/edit', { create=>0,
customer => rset('Customer')->search_rs({customerid=>route_parameters->get('id')})
};
};

============HTML====================

....
<% cus = customer.next %>
<%IF create ==1%>
<form action="/edit/<%cus.customerid%>" method="post">
<%ELSE%>
<form action="/edit/<%cus.customerid%>/<%inv.invid%>" method="put">
<%END%>
....
<div class="col-2"><input name="datecreated" type="date" class="form-control" id="datecreated" aria-describedby="dateHelp" value="<%date.format(inv.datecreated)%>"> </div>
....

====================END=====================

Will this help in your situation?

Thanks, but for a variety of reasons, I'm trying to minimize the amount of client-side Javascript. (Among other reasons, I may still need to support IE8 (or, rather, IE11 in IE8 compatibility mode).)

I would approach this by:
* making sure all the html fields have an id
* on page load, use jQuery to do a REST call back to the server to work out what to stick in these fields

Does that make sense?
