It's not necessary modify the code in gluon. You could replace the text input in the query panel. For example:
1) in db.py we define our table db.define_table('contact', Field('name'), Field('phone')) 2) in default.py we define our controller to create the grid def contacts(): grid=SQLFORM.grid(db.contact, user_signature=False) table_name = 'contact' field_name = 'phone' element_id = 'w2p_value_%s-%s' % (table_name, field_name) custom_select = SELECT('', 'value1', 'value2', 'value3', _id=element_id) grid.element('input',_id=element_id, replace=custom_select) return locals() 3) we create our view default/contacts.html {{extend 'layout.html'}} <h1>Manage My Contacts</h1> {{=grid}} The code in step2 should put you on the right way.
