you are checking *if (empty($this->data))*
is there some other data that is coming from the view(such as some other
fields in the form) for you except these default fields. if there is some
other data coming as well then $this->data wont be empty and hence your
default values wont be populated.. it would be better to install the logic
as:
if ($this->data['Expense']['SomeField'] == '') {
$this->data['Expense']['SomeField'] = 'A Default Value';
}
I hope i were clear.
Thanks.
