I used just SQLFORM, and form.custom worked for me with no effort beyond that. > In general it could be nice to know how to manipulate the Edit/New forms > generated by the grid and smartgrid.

However, the SQLFORM family is Massimo's least-favorite part of web2py, in part because of unruly growth, so the next generation is likely to leave more of that to the client side (e.g., javascript libraries). Datatables.js is a library Massimo likes, and backgrid.js is another one discussed here. I'm not seeing the discussion in the developers' group, so I'm not sure if there was a web3py js library being proposed. /dps > On Monday, July 25, 2016 at 11:00:49 PM UTC+2, icodk wrote: >> >> How can I change the input field size (what is visible to the user) of >> SQLFORM.grid auto generated Edit/New forms. >> Tried with length=50 but the fields are still about 20 chars long. >> Also: IS_LENGTH(minsize=5,maxsize=50) had no visible effect.
