Re: Form fields repopulating with default data.
I was using an input form with 'value' => ''. I changed it to "default => '' and it works like a charm.

Re: Form fields repopulating with default data.
Is your field a 'select' type? How are you setting the default value? >From memory, using 'selected'=>'value' forces the input view to show initial 'value', but using 'default'=>'value' will only populate 'value' if data is not present for that field - so in the case of failed validation (where data is returned to the view) the user- entered value will stand.

Form fields repopulating with default data.
I have a form field named user_first_name with no default value. When a user named Fred completes this field correctly, but enters invalid data in another field such as user_password, user_first_name is automatically repopulated with "Fred" so Fred doesn't need to write his first name again. Nice! However, I also have a form field named user_birth_year with a default value of "". Fred enters a valid birth year, but an invalid password. Rather than saving his correct birth year, the field is automatically repopulated with "". How can this be avoided?
