I wanted to customize the message on the submit button of a form generated from SQLFORM. The closest thing I found on the web was this outdated link: http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/205 On the book, there is only a reference for changing the label of the form generated by CRUD: 7.4.2 Messages Here is a list of customizable messages: crud.messages.submit_button = 'Submit'
I found it by inspecting variables one by one: form.custom.submit.attributes['_value'] I think this should be in the book.
