When you add an extra element this way, it gets inserted into the form
object, but it does not get added to the items in form.custom.widget,
form.custom.label, etc. (those are constructed when the form is first
created). You have a couple options. In the view, you can simply refer to:
{{=form.element(_name='agree')}}
Or you can explicitly add to custom.widget and custom.label:
form = SQLFORM(db.yourtable)
form.custom.widget.my_extra_input = INPUT(_name='agree', value=True, _type=
'checkbox')
form.custom.label.my_extra_label = LABEL('I agree to the terms and
conditions')
my_extra_element = TR(form.custom.label.my_extra_label, form.custom.widget.
my_extra_input)
form[0].insert(-1, my_extra_element)
