Hard-working Monkey

Synopsis

The hard-working Monkey module provides currently two little Drush commands to
check and fix fields with default values in node entities.

For example, when you add later a field to a content type and have existing
nodes of this type, the existing nodes get this field entity with it's default
value only on node save into database storage. This behavior can cause problems
for views, etc.

The hard-working monkey does this job for you. You can check and fix existing
fields with this little monkey.
