Simple form_validation question (CI 1.7 SVN)

I must be missing something. The validation library is pretty smart, all you need to do is work out the difference between 'create' and 'edit'.

Controller:

Code:

if ('create')
{
    $data = array('field' => '', 'field2' => '');
}
else
{
    $data = $model->get_current_values();
}

if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
{
    $this->load->view('myform', $data);
}
//...

View:

Code:

<input type="text" name="field" value="<?php echo set_value('field', $field); ?>" size="50" />
<input type="text" name="field2" value="<?php echo set_value('field2', $field2); ?>" size="50" />
