Usind Drupal 7

We are preparing to upgrade from D6 to D7.

One feature we used on D6 was, on the edit/add form, a field called 'related' which was a node reference to a view. When the editor save the page, this applied the selected txonomy term. The editor would then go to edit and the 'related' field would be populated with a list of nodes that shared the same term(s). Editors would then select the nodes they wanted, save, and they would appear in a related terms box on the page.

I've figured out how to do most of this in D7 using views and references, following instructions here http://www.metachunk.com/blog/adding-related-content-view-drupal-7 for the view. It works, except one bit I would like to change.

When the editor creates a page, the 'related' field is populated with every node on the site. Once they select the terms ad save, 'related' is populated with the correct nodes.

On the node/add page, how do I have 'related' display nothing until the node is saved and terms are comitted?

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum

thank you
