That said, when you use the Business Layer Generator it looks at your database default values and should be using these as default values. I recommend running the BLG, selecting that database table, then the column and see if it specifies a default value.

Kevin,

Is there a way to tell BLG to enforce Set Default without checking each column? It is given that from time to time, we add columns to database tables so we regenerate business objects entities and rules. That said, if mm.Net does not check the SET DEFAULT automatically if there is a default value set on a column, then clicking the columns one-by-one is a lot of work I think. This thing adds to the already annoying list of database tables which are not arranged alphabetically.
