Note, by specifying the "format" argument in the LEADER table definition, that will give you a default IS_IN_DB validator as well as a default "represent" function for any reference field that references the LEADER table. The IS_IN_DB validator itself is responsible for generating the select widget in forms. Alternatively, you could explicitly define your own IS_IN_DB validator and/or "represent" function. You could also explicitly define your own form widget by specifying the "widget" argument in the field definition. All of these options are documented in the book.
