Problems with form re-populating functions

[quote author="Galvão" date="1261309793"]Problem solved. Since I'm using form loading in one action and form submission in another I had to call the validation rules in the form loading action as well.

Two things are worth noticing, anyway:

1) The bug remains in the case of radio buttons, the last one is always checked, so I had to solve this "manually".
2) CI Team really should work on this, since it doesn't make sense to call validation rules upon loading the form.

In your controller why not check to see if the form was submitted before running validation?

Code:

if($this->input->post('submit'))  //assuming you have your submit button named "submit"
{
    if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
    {
        //failed
    }
    else
    {
        //passed...
    }
}

Then validation is only run if the form was submitted.
