<p>Is "Pre-populate Records?" checked in your own user preferences?
User preferences take precedence over repository preferences, and
both take precedence over global preferences. Initially your user
preferences are unset, so a checkbox like "Pre-populate Records?"
will appear unticked, but if it is enabled in repository or global
preferences then it will work. However, if you edit your user
preferences, for example to change the columns in a list view,
when you click save that unticked checkbox means the feature will
be disabled, for you, from that point on.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
I do not think there is any way to return a user account to its
initial state except by deleting a row in the MySQL database. It
would be better if single checkboxes were replaced with three radio
buttons labeled something like "Yes", "No", and "Use
repository/global setting". Better yet, if admins could lock them
into the last of those three, preventing users from changing them,
then you could enforce policies like always user default values. But
I suspect that would require a lot of work to implement and test.

</p>
<p>Another thing to look out for is that default values are set up
on a per-repository basis. So you can have "Pre-populate Records?"
enabled in global preferences, but it will only actually work
globally if all the repositories in your system have been set up
with default values.<br>

font-size: 12pt;">I'm having trouble with the edit default
values feature in 2.8.1. I'm trying it with Resource records,
and it works in our current 2.7.0 version, but it is not
working in the 2.8.1 version that we want to launch. I enabled
Pre-populate in the global and repository preferences but our
values still don't show up. I also tried the online sandbox
<a href="http://sandbox.archivesspace.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">http://sandbox.archivesspace.org/</a>.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with this feature? Thanks,<br>
