Thank you for explaining how Zend_Form is supposed to work. I do better understand the meaning of
"default value" in this context, but...
...the context where I use it is slightly different than a plain old HTML form.
Let me explain.
The posted data come from an XHR sent by a dojox.data.JsonRe
I'm not sure if that's how the "default" value is supposed to work. AFAIK,
it sets the default value for the form element when the page is loaded. The
user can then overwrite this value by editing the field. If the user empties
the field, then I consider that a deliberate attempt to submit an empty
No, this is not a hidden field.
I already tried your suggestion with setValue() but it doesn't help.
I was able to trace my problem down to the Zend_Form::isValid() method. For each element, this code
block is executed:
if (!isset($check[$key])) {
$valid = $element-
Is it a hidden input? Try this to see if it helps:
$form->getElement('nature')->setValue('consignment');

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
