A way to achieve this would be on form submission with the onvalidation
argument, such as:
def myaction:
def pad_indra(form):
form.vars.id_indra = form.vars.id_indra.zfill(5)
form = SQLFORM(...)
if form.process(onvalidation=pad_indra).accepted:
...
If you use this in multiple form you could move pad_indra to the
'controller' scope to share it.
