If you are still struggling with set_value() to repopulate form values.
Just use traditional php way of doing :
e.g
<input type='text' name='firstname' value="<?php echo set_value('firstname'); ?>" />
replace with ---
<input type='text' name='firstname' value="<?php echo (isset($_REQUEST['firstname'])) ? $_REQUEST['firstname'] : ''; ?>" />
and bingo it works like charm...

This still not being patched blows my mind. I have to patch every CI install with this.

Is this still an issue? I haven't worked with a new install of CI in awhile; still maintaining my old 1.x applications. If so, is this on the radar at all? It's really ridiculous.

Yep, this is a frustrating bug. Seems like it should be such an easy fix; should be rolled into the main trunk.

Who knows if it's on the radar, but it's been brought up in Reactor and Core (going on two years now) and it is still not implemented.

A note to those using the fix by jbreitweiser found here http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/96617/P15/#689642,
There's a slight change required in the function set_value_array
This line
Code:
if (($field == '' OR $value == '') OR ($field != $value))Should be changed to
Code:
if (($field === '' OR $value === '') OR ($field != $value))I found when sending zero as a value of a field, it equated to '' which meant that '' was returned, not the default value as expected.

i'm trying to use jbreitweiser's fix (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/96617/P15/#689642)
but rather than edit the functions in /system/libraries/Form_validation.php file i created a /application/helpers/MY_form_helper.php file and pasted the script.
i am getting a "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context..." error. the line where the error is occurring has the following...
Code:
if ( ! isset($this->_field_data[$field]))any ideas?

You are using $this out of the object context.
Helpers are not classes, they are plain functions. If you want to use the codeigniter object inside a function you should instantiate it (inside each function) like this
Code:
$CI = & get_instance();An than use $CI instead of $this
Code:
if ( ! isset($CI->_field_data[$field]))Function set_value() not working as expected - El Forum - 07-28-2012

BTW the bug still isn't fixed in 2.1.2!
But after all, it's allways a good idea to setup rules for all fields, just to check for the right data type ...

Has this issue really still not been patched, in 2012 - 4 years following the topic being opened?
It's really bugging me, does anybody know the best way to patch it in the latest version of CodeIgniter? Preferably with a MY_form_helper rather than hacking the core.
Thanks
