Dorothea, I'm positive that the value isn't there as I've looked at both the detailed view via xmlui as well as in the database table metadatavalue.
It's actually dc.type that I am trying to auto stamp as I am using a collection per type and I'd like the type just stuck in there for new records. And to the other replier - yes, I am only using the xmlui interface to add new records. I'm quite puzzled by this. My hope was that I was doing a really bone headed thing and not understanding how this is supposed to work. Sadly, it looks like I am doing it correctly yet it doesn't appear to work here :( Thanks for checking it. - Damian > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:42:13 -0600 > From: Dorothea Salo <dorothea.s...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection level "Item Template" to try to > add a default metadata value to new items in a collection > To: Dspace Tech <DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: > <356cf3981003151042o2a8722d4j19780c9db8b1c...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > I got nothin' here.
