Field('name',
widget=lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _placeholder='my
placeholder text'))
Be sure to use the correct widget for the field type (i.e., string, text,
etc.).
You could generalize with a special function:
def widget(type='string', placeholder=''):
return lambda field, value: SQLFORM.widgets[type].widget(field, value,
_placeholder=placeholder)
and then:
Field('name', widget=widget('string', 'my placeholder text'))
