I know this was a while ago, but I had a similar question and came across
this thread. You can turn off the built in edit button by choosing
editable=False, then create you own using links
def example():
query = db.sometable
links = [lambda row: A('Edit',_class='button btn
btn-default',_href=URL("default","custom_edit_page",args=[row.id]))]
grid = SQLFORM.grid(query, links = links, editable=False)
return dict(grid = grid)
def custom_edit_page():
edit_item = request.args(0) or redirect(URL('example'))
form = crud.update(db.sometable, edit_item, next='example')
