Hey guys love the module. Could you please clear this up for me.

I am using hook_form_alter to add a default value to the reference field. It is showing in the array when i run

dpm($form);

See attached image

But the field remains with value - none -

My Code is as follows

function soul_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
	if($form_id == 'action_node_form') {
		$form['field_client']['und']['#default_value'] = array(1 => 'Test Client');
	}
}

I have also tried it as

function soul_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
	if($form_id == 'action_node_form') {
		$form['field_client']['und']['#default_value'] = array($clientid => $clientname); 
	}
}

I was just wondering if it is possible to set a default value or if the module overrides it some how. If so is there a way around this.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Gary

Are you sure that's to do with this module's work -- have you tried disabling it?

IIRC, FieldAPI does a lot of its widget building in an #after_build callback, so hook_form_alter() won't get to see everything.

It only wanted the entity id so this works

function soul_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    if($form_id == 'action_node_form') {
        $form['field_client']['und']['#default_value'] = $clientid;
    }
}

I´m having the same problem.

I have this scenario (fresh install):

Department (Vocabulary)

Category (Vocabulary)
- Department (Field - Term reference to Department Vocabulary)

Product (Node)
- Department (Field - Term reference to Department Vocabulary)
- Category (Field - Term reference to Category Vocabulary - Options limited according to matching Department field values)

I changed the default value of Department using a custom module:

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'product_node_form') {
  	$form['field_department'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#default_value'] = 1; // Department One
  }
}

But the Category field is not limited on the page load:

It only works if I select another value on the Department field and select Department One again:

Thank you.

EDIT:

Actually, it works. Sorry about that.
