setDefaultValue() is not applied

[peterpp]

After adding new dynamic container to form, default value of container item is not applied.

Example:

$form->addDynamic('users', function (Container $container) {
    $container->addText('name', 'Name')->setDefaultValue("default value");
}, 1);

Value of "name" text input should be be set to "default value", but it is empty.

Do you know how to solve this?

[peterpp]

No, I'm currently very busy and I have no time to investigate.

[Ciki]

@fprochazka any idea how to solve this?

[fprochazka]

What version of Nette?

[Ciki]

Nette 2.2.2 (revision 8f701b9 released on 2014-06-26)

[Ciki]

have you had time to look at this? or can you point me to the right direction how to fix this?

[Ciki]

@fprochazka can I provide anything for you to ease up process of fixing this? I'd love to fix it (or have it fixed ideally :) ) ASAP. Thanks!

[fprochazka]

The setDefaultValue is a really complicated problem and as a workaround, you should for now do ->setValues() when you're creating new container.

[Ciki]

OK, thanks

@fprochazka Can you please specify how this is complicated? Maybe I am missing something. I tried to move addComponent from here after Callback::invoke and everything seems to be working fine.

In my opinion, problem is, that addComponent sets parent and therefore check here causes that default value is not set.

If I am right, I can send you pull request.

[fprochazka]

@foxycode it was complicated, because the internals of forms were rapidly changing and I was unable to maintain 100% compatibility. If you can send a pullrequest with testcase I'll be happy to accept it.

[foxycode]

@fprochazka I give up. I tried, but it's really not so easy as I thought.

I worked around this issue by using setValue() instead of setDefaultValue(). It is internal. I know. It is more of a hack than a solution. But maybe it helps.

In my opinion, problem is, that addComponent sets parent and therefore check here causes that default value is not set.

From what I see the problem is that the setDefaultValue only sets the value in case the form was not yet submitted, but it obviously is because of the way the replicator works.

@josefsabl I know and it works ok when you use setValue() in attached() method. I already switched to https://github.com/contributte/forms-multiplier
