[html-formfu] Losing default value on update

[Charlie Garrison]

Good morning,

I've got a read-only field (from HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC) 
which is losing the displayed value after form is submitted. 
I've tried various combinations of force_default, 
retain_default, etc but don't seem to be able to get the right configuration.

The yaml snippet currently is:

     elements:
       - type: Label
         name: username
         label: User Name
         force_default: 1
         model_config:
           read_only: 1

When the form is first displayed the username value appears in 
the 'Label' field. After submitting the form the username field 
is empty.

The controller action logic is:

sub edit :PathPart('edit') :Args(0) :FormConfig('users/edit') {
     my ($self, $c) = @_;    #, $id

     my $user = $c->model('DBIC::User')->find($c->stash->{userid});

     my $form = $c->stash->{form}; # $self->form;

     ## add additional custom fields to $form; eg (pseudo-code):
     $fieldset = $form->element({
                 type        => 'Fieldset',
                 nested_name => $section_code,
         });
     $fieldset->element($config_from_db);

     $form->process;

     if ($form->submitted_and_valid) {
         $form->model->update($user);
     } else {
         ## .....
     }

     $c->stash( template => 'users/edit.tt2' );
}

All other fields in the form get saved to the db as expected. Am 
I doing something wrong in the config or controller action?

Thanks,
Charlie
