Passing exposed filter to field

I have this problem with your (superb) module..

I have nodes with fields like this:

Project name (which is node reference field)
Project number
year
budget

Then i have exposed filter with project name, so only one project is shown at time.. now the problem is that even when user selects project from the filter,
he/she has to still select the project name again when adding a new entry(once for the filter and then for the actual field).. would it be possible to default the first field to match with the exposed filter?
Even better if i would not have to show the project name field at all to the user.
