New view object row does not get committed to DB

Question

Hi guys,
on a taskflow with a new transaction I have a form to enter a new record on an entity-based view object.
Before the page is called I call the CreateInsert Operation to create the new record on that view object.
There are quite a few attributes that have default values which I determine in the ViewRowImpl's create method (using populateAttributeAsChanged to set the values).
Now if none of the inputValues in the form is filled manually and I want to save the data (default values are sufficient to save the record) the taskflow return action commit does not commit the data to the db. As soon as I manually enter one value into any field the same return action commits the record correctly to the db. There is no error message and the new record is visible in the application because it is inserted into the view's iterator...
Is there any way to mark the new row as changed/insert if only the default values are filled? Or am I doing something wrong?
Using JDev 11.1.1.5

Add the following method in your RowImpl class:
public void setNewRowState(byte b) {
     if (b != Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED ||
         getNewRowState() != Row.STATUS_NEW) {
         super.setNewRowState(b);
