Please show an actual use case (with code). Default values is a bit vague.
If you are referring to the add_columns default_value - it is never
considered by dbic. Still populate() should work just fine without them,
as this is what they are for - for the RDBMS to insert them upon row
creation. So yes - show the actual populate() call.
