If the attributes are supposed to apply to the HTML <form> element, then
your approach is correct. But if the attributes belong to individual
<input> and <textarea> elements, then you must use the "widget" argument of
the Field() constructor or update the widget after creation. For example:
Field('score', 'integer',
widget=lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.integer.widget(f, v, _autofocus=
True))
or after defining the form:
form.custom.widget.score['_autofocus'] = True
