Hi, Damian~
Two thoughts... First, the out-of-the-box input-forms.xml includes a
value-pairs set at the end of the form. Make sure that the value that
you want is one of the "stored-value".
Second, and there might be a better way to trouble-shoot this, but I
would try adding the dc.type element back in to your submission form (if
it's not already there). If the default value was well-defined, the
system should automatically select the value you want (i.e. if your
metadata value on the collection level template is "Thesis", then you
should see "Thesis" selected on the actual webform).
Hope that helps...

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

I got nothin' here. I've done what you describe, and it worked the way
you want it to work. (This ended up annoying one of my content
providers, but that was purely MY fault.)
One possibly-clueless suggestion: are you absolutely sure the value
isn't there? Have you checked the full item view and the database? If
the field in question isn't explicitly told to show up on the
short-display page in the theme's XSLT, it won't.
