set_value not working??

this is an issue with the set_value function. check the code for set_value.
set_value() basically says "is there a validation object? yes! great, grab the value from the validation object. No! ok, grab the value from the post array"
If the field you're trying to set the value of is not part of the validation rules then set_value will not work. you'll have to either add a dummy validation rule for your field, or make a change to set_value()
