Re: [fw-general] default value not taken into account when validating a form

[Guillaume ORIOL]

The "nature" element is not filled in by the user.
And the setDefault() is called after the element has been added to the form (as this element is 
added in the init() method of the form class).

When you view the form on the page, is the "nature" element's value filled in? 
Are you calling
setDefault() before or after adding the element to the form?

Hi,

I simply don't understand why I can set a default value on a form element if 
this default value is
not taken into account when validating the form???

Here is my controller code:

$form = new My_Form(); // The form defines a element named 'nature' that is 
REQUIRED
$form->setDefault('nature', 'consignment');
...
// Content of the $_POST:
// array(
// 'foo' => 1,
// 'bar' => 2
// )
// NO 'nature' value is posted by the HTML form

if ($request->isPost()) {
   if ($form->isValid($_POST)) {
       // never reached as isValid() fails on 'nature'
   }
}

Any explanation?
