here's how one of the select is declared in form
$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('patientid');
$element->addMultiOptions($this->patients_array)
->setRequired(true)
->setLabel('label_db_patient_select')
->setAttrib('size', 1)
->setAttrib('maxlength', 1)
->addFilter($filterTags)
->addFilter($filterTrim)
->addValidator($validatorNotEmpty, true)
->addValidator($validatorNum, true)
;
$this->addElement($element);
When I get data from db I just do a populate.
$this->_form->populate($rowset->current()->toArray());
So you can see I never use the setValue.
In your case I think you should try without it and for a new record
after initializing the form
do a
$this->_form->getElement('whatever')->setValue(9);
After I've no idea ...
