I'm working with views (view_test) and when I append a record to view_test, that is based on table_test, field_test is empty. Is this an expected behaviour or I'm doing something wrong ?

Jose,

I'm using xCase. One of its beauties is that it carries all the tables default into your views. So I only have to define my defaults, validation rules and validation messages once. You can donwload an evaluation copy from www.xcase.com
