I noticed that if I have 2 Date fields (A and B) that are grouped together in the fields.ini, only the later one will get its default value rendered in the "New Record" page.

If I take them out of the group, then both default value will get rendered.

Since I have tried to set the default value through different approach (fields.ini, %field%__display(), from DB default value), I am pretty sure it's probably a bug in the group feature.

Is there a work around using the current latest release?

Thanks,
Raymond

Interesting bug... not sure why it's happening... but I'll look into it.

Hi Steve:

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to have this fixed in the next release? The "grouping" feature make the UI much nicer if the table have many fields

but this bug have made it almost useless

Thanks,
Raymond

in Dataface/QuickForm.php

Search for the line with:

$defaults[$this->_fields[$key]['group']] = array($key=>$defaultValue);

and change it to:

$defaults[$this->_fields[$key]['group']][$key] = $defaultValue;

That should fix the problem.
