[support] Setting Multiselect Default Values

[Metzler, David]

PS. 

IT's important to know that what you get back in your submit handler for
$formstate['values']['new_server']is an array of all of the servers and
wheter they are selected.  In the case where SERVER01 and SERVER02 are
selected you'll get back the array: 

Array(
  'SERVER01' => 'SERVER01', 
  'SERVER02' => 'SERVER02', 
  'SERVER03' => 0, 
  'SERVER04' => 0, 
  'SERVER05' => 0
); 

You will not get back string data as your code seems to be expecting.

Subject: [support] Setting Multiselect Default Values

Hey Fellow Drupalers,

I'm trying to set the '#default_value' property to a select form
element that has '#multiple' set to TRUE. Below you will find a link
to the source and a link to a screenshot. I've tried setting
'#default_value' to:

[values]
array('SERVER01')
array('SERVER01' => 'SERVER01')
array(1)
array('1')
1
'SERVER01'
[/values]

But nothing sets the default value of the select form element. The
'#options' element is set to (verbatim from var_export): array (
'SERVER01' => 'SERVER01', 'SERVER02' => 'SERVER02', 'SERVER03' =>
'SERVER03', 'SERVER04' => 'SERVER04', 'SERVER05' => 'SERVER05', )

Code: https://t.co/ETl4MtgV

The code in question is line 105 of vulnscan.admin.inc

Let me know what I should do. I'm running drupal 7.11-dev (git
checkout of Drupal codebase, set to the 7.x branch).

Thanks,

Shawn
