[support] Setting Multiselect Default Values

[Metzler, David]

Trying to help here, but it sounds like you've given up.   I gave you stub code that I've run on Drupal 7 and DOES populate default values.  If/When you file a drupal core bug, expect the same scrutiny only more so.  Those are really busy people that monitor that queue. 

Wish you the best of luck. 

Dave

Here's my schema, and you'll see that the data I'm getting back is
correct: https://gist.github.com/1607294

I've tried manually setting to array('SERVER01', 'SERVER02', ...), and
that does _not_ work. I've tried manually setting to array('SERVER01'
=> 'SERVER01', 'SERVER02' => 'SERVER02',  ...) and that does _not_
work. I've tried manually setting to array(1) and that does _not_
work. I've tried manually setting to array('1') and that does _not_
work. I've tried setting to 'SERVER01' and that does _not_ work.

I think we're going in circles here. I've manually tried every single
thing to no avail. But it's okay, I've already coded the workaround,
even if it is ugly on the eyes.

Thanks,

Shawn
