I was just experimenting different styles and i came across this strange behaviour:

if i put the formstyle='table3cols' the form appear different than without it!

So what is the default value?

If no "formstyle" argument is provided, SQLFORM uses the value in response.formstyle. In the welcome app, that value is set in the db.py model file: https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/welcome/models/db.py#L35. The value itself is stored in /private/appconfig.ini (https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/welcome/private/appconfig.ini#L18) and is set to "bootstrap3_inline".

Interesting!! Is much more than i can understand from the manual.

I can set formstyle="bostrap3_horizontal" or "bootstrap3_vertical"

Thanks!!!

Yes, unfortunately the book appears to be out of date with regard to formstyle.
