Hello Sue,
Thanks a bunch for the info. This is exactly what I needed. It turns out I
was trying to do this in a really complicated way by editing some XML files
with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml. I've also discovered if you
'Edit Collection' and you can add pre populated info by 'Edit...' on the 'Item
template:' option. This was available in the XMLUI, not sure about the JSP
interface.

In Dspace 1.5.1, when you create a new collection, in the "Describe" step you
check a box that says, "New submissions will have some metadata already filled
out with defaults". Another screen will display that will allow you to enter
"Default Item Metadata". Whenever a new submission is started in this
collection, it will have the metadata you entered already filled out.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Adding metadata automatically to a user submitted item
Hello List,
Does anyone know how (if possible) to configure a self submission in DSpace
to pre-populate certain fields all hidden from the user? For example if I have
a user submitting a Thesis is there any way I can fix dc.type to equal "Thesis"
in such a way that the user doesn't need to pick it from a dropdown, since they
are getting a customized submit form anyway. Basically I want to set some dc
values at time of submission in a way that is transparent to the user?
Thanks,
Tim
