Hi,
I have a mysql table with field comments, I adopt the table in data and views sees it fine with labels correct.
However in the Data UI, the field 'label' is empty... (I actually get error notices because I'm running php5.3 with all errors on)... So I checked the code out; and all other form elements in data_ui_edit_form() (data_ui.admin.inc) check for their #default_value's existence *except* for the label... is this by design and why?
Also, when I dump my $meta data - it only contains the single field I added through the data ui and nothing from my MySQL table.... Should we be using "$table->update(array('meta' => $meta));" within the adopt form submission?
Let me know please and I'll submit a patch that covers both the default value for labels and using comments from mysql tables as data labels.
