Hi DSpace folks:

I'd like to be able to force certain metadata values for all items in
certain collections, e.g., all items in our ETD collection should have
dc.type = "Thesis". This is something that I'd like to set during
submission and not batch-edit afterwards.

I was thinking about setting a default value via input-forms.xml and
making it read-only, but I don't see any way to do that. It looks like the
read-only part should be done via the <visibility> tag (the use of which
isn't entirely clear), but I don't see anything about setting default
values.

I don't mind whether the metadata values are shown during submission or
not.

Any suggestions?

I'm running DSpace 1.6.2 with XMLUI.

Thanks,
~Chris
