Dave S Thanks, you put me on the right track. What works for me is:: db.tabl1.field1.widget= lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _size=50)
This is basically taken from Antony's post you pointed out. Your answer with form.custom does not apply because I have no form.custom. The form is automatically generated by the SQLFORM.grid which I have no idea how to get to. In general it could be nice to know how to manipulate the Edit/New forms generated by the grid and smartgrid. Could not find any docs about it yet.
