You only need widgets
<form>
{{=form.custom.widget.field1}}
{{=form.custom.widget.field2}}
{{=form.custom.widget.field3}}
<input type="submit">
{{=form.hidden_fields()}}
</form>

I think you can do:
{{for fieldname in form.custom.widget:}}
<label>{{=form.custom.labels[fieldname]}}</label>{{=form.custom.widget
[fieldname]}}
{{pass}}
I do not think you need thefields since it only provides info that is
alredy in the form.
Not sure if this helps.
