Yes! just keep in mind, that *before *call SQLFORM.grid/smartgrid/factory
or just SQLFORM or even FORM ( learn two latter details) you can:
1. modify request.vars as you want: request.vars.fieldC='smthng not none'
2. modify fields properties: if request.vars.fieldA:
db.table.fieldC.required=False
3. have total control on the form using `formargs`:
SQLFORM.smartgrid(formargs={'vars':myvars})
