No dice. Neither of the two lines had any effect (this is with them in the controller). The field was blank and was still writable. Also, if this approach worked, or if I changed the default value in the model, wouldn't this be redefining the table definition every time the form is brought up? If so, this doesn't seem like a desirable approach. Would this be the case?
