Column not set to default after insert

Question

Hi,
I have a column defaulted to 'No', when I insert into table without providing value for that column thru SQL plus, column valued to 'No'. when insert thru APEX form, column is set to null. Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks
Eugene

Did you solved your problem?
I have similar problem and question.
I have form with checkbox T/F. Checkbox has mandatory column (VALID) in underlying table with default value 'F'.
Table:
USER (firstname, lastname, valid)
If checkbox is visible on form, some value is inserted into the table.
But checkbox is conditionaly invisible for some users and when they want to insert new record APEX is generating insert statement (Automatic Row Processing (DML)) with all columns of the form and not only with visible columns.
This is generated insert:
insert into user(firstname,lastname,valid) values ('John','Baker',null) and it raises ORA-1400: cannot insert null into VALID because VALID can not be null.
Correct insert statement should be:
insert into user(firstname,lastname) values ('John','Baker') because VALID column is invisible for some users
I think that update statement do this (update only visible columns).
