I'd like a way to set a field to it's default value. I've found the #apply_default method but it doesn't seem to be designed for this purpose. Specifically:
1. It doesn't work on a field after it's been set
2. It doesn't consider aliased fields
What do you suggest?
Here's the current:
def apply_default(name)
unless attributes.has_key?(name)
if field = fields[name]
default = field.eval_default(self)
unless default.nil? || field.lazy?
attribute_will_change!(name)
attributes[name] = default
end
end
end
end
