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.JsonRestStore. (The user is able to
create/edit items directly in the grid.) But the grid represents only a subset of the item
properties as its width is limited. As a consequence, not all required form elements are sent by the
XHR. This is not a problem for updates as I can use isValidPartial(). But for inserts, I need to
complete the posted data with default values: that's why I try to use setDefault().

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
string for that field.
Btw, why doesn't that element appear in the post data?

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->isValid(null, $context) && $valid;
} else {
$valid = $element->isValid($check[$key], $context) && $valid;
$data = $this->_dissolveArrayUnsetKey($data, $belongsTo, $key);
}
As you can see, the element is not validated against its (default) value when
the value doesn't
exist in the posted data.
