It's been around forever.

Actually I'm doing a little bit more in my form function (e.g. setting

That might be best handled via the widget argument when defining the field:

Field('mystring', widget=lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, 
_maxlength=f.length))

You could also automate that via a function or create a custom widget:

def mystring(f, v):
    return SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _maxlength=f.length)

Field('mystring', widget=mystring)
