This is a way to provide a hint as to when to automatically select the widget to display for fields with a small number of options. For example, this can be used to decided to display a radio select for select lists smaller than the size specified.
See select_widget below.
If the widget is 'select' for the field then will look if the field also has a auto_widget_size. If the options list is less than or equal to the auto_widget_size then will return radio if multiple is false, otherwise will return checkbox.

Defaults to "name"
Sets or returns the name of a boolean column that is used as a flag to indicate that a row is active or not. Rows that are not active are ignored.
The default is "active".
If this column exists on the class then the list of options will included only rows that are marked "active".
The exception is any columns that are marked inactive, but are also part of the input data will be included with brackets around the label. This allows updating records that might have data that is now considered inactive.
Sets or returns the column used in the foreign class for sorting the options labels. Default is undefined.
If this column exists in the foreign table then labels returned will be sorted by this column.
If not defined or the column is not found as a method on the foreign class then the label_column is used as the sort condition.
Returns the option label for the option value that matches the field's current value. Can be helpful for displaying information about the field in a more friendly format.
