Anyone able to help with this?

Thanks!

Using Cocoon 2.1.8.

I am creating a new form and passing some default values
to it using request parameters:

eg. http://localhost:8888/mydb/newPerson.do?i=piet&r=16&c=5

The form displays normally and the user can add data -> submission
of a correct form also works. However, when encountering an
error on first submission e.g. a key field value is missing, then
when the form is redisplayed, the values obtained from parameters
passed in the first time are no longer displayed. How do I ensure
that these parameters are used for each submission?

Thanks
Derek

Maybe it's not.  Can you post a minimal example (simple form with  
maybe 1 widget) and minimal sitemap that exhibits the problem?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I could try out a version locally,
but upgrading on the servers is, unfortunately, a much longer
and time-consuming process.  I guess I was hoping it was not a bug.

Hi Derek,

do you have the opportunity to try it with a more recent version of Cocoon?
If you initialize a widget with a given parameter this sounds like a bug 
probably corrected in the meantime.

Bye,
Florian

Are you using cforms, or your own custom form?
If cforms, you might find it easier to set the form fields from flowscript.
If you could post a snippet of your pipelines, it would help us to debug.
