After successfully using this module to populate a CCK text field I tried to use it to populate a Node Reference field and was unsuccessful.

I modified the rules_forms_action_set_element function in rules_forms.rules.inc and was then able to set default values for Node Reference and User Reference fields using NIDs and UIDs.

I'd appreciate it if others could test this patch.

Well, I think that solution is too much hardcoding ...
We can look up the default value array key in the #columns property of the form element. That is a much more generic approach, patch attached. Please test and report back any issues.

I have tried both patches and don't understand what they can be used for. What I have is an autocomplete node reference field and I want to populate it using tokens but the ajax tries or wants to load it's own values and it gives error message when I try to use a token.

Issue tags: +cck field values

I have a content type build with CCK composed of several fields of different types. This content will be modified along a process workflow but I believe that the values are not being saved on the different fields along the process since each time I open the content to edit it, the content values are blank.

How can I confirm whether the values are being saved and if they are how can I make the appear as the default everytime I open that content node.

Thanks in advance.
