I forgot to say that I use my own function to define the fields in the
custom form.
db.py:
db.define_table('a_table', Field('field_name', 'text', length=600))
controller:
def copyField(field):
return Field(field.name, field.type, length=field.length)
form = SQLFORM.factory(copyField(db.a_table.field_name))
i.a.
