What is REQUIRED and MAX_5 -- are those custom validators you created?

You could create a custom
validator<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/7#Custom-validators>to do
this. Validators can be used not only to validate, but also to
transform the values (e.g, CRYPT, CLEANUP, IS_LOWER, IS_UPPER, IS_SLUG).
Note, validators are only applied when inserting via form submissions or
when using the .validate_and_insert() and .validate_and_update() methods.
