Sounds like you're on the right track. I haven't tried it, but I assume you could also use the form customization method described here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#Custom-forms (for custom layout, not adding new fields). You would refer to form.create_form.custom.widget.yourfield, etc. Note, you would need some logic in the view to determine whether the current request is for an edit form, create form, etc. (which you can figure out from request.args).
