Problem with default value for Billing when creating Business Partner

Question

In Sales Area data - Billing screen we want to default a value for Price List Type when creating a Busines Partner.
We implemented  BADI 'BUPA_FRG0030_UPDATE'  and followed suggestions from another thread :
Defaulting Currency Value to 'USD' during BP Creation.
But This only seems to work when you change an existing BP.
If we use FUNCTION 'CRM_BUPA_FRG0030_SAVE' in the BADI this function is called again by the system when saving the BP and causes a dump.
Also the UPDATE functions only seem to work when you change an existing BP and not when creating one.
Any suggestions if we can use another BADI or other function modules/methods ?
Or some sample coding for implementing BUPAFRG0030_SAVE'  the correct way ?
Thanks for the help,
Steve

Brent,
When I use the latest build 10.1.3.3.81, this gets generated:
<managed-property>
<property-name>defaultValues</property-name>
<map-entries>
<map-entry>
<key>ManagerId</key>
<value>#{'#{jhsTypeConverter.stringToNumber['100']}'}</value>
</map-entry>
</map-entries>
</managed-property>
Which is slightly better, but still failing because the single quotes get mixed up.
This should be generated:
<managed-property>
<property-name>defaultValues</property-name>
<map-entries>
<map-entry>
<key>ManagerId</key>
<value>#{"#{jhsTypeConverter.stringToNumber['100']}"}</value>
</map-entry>
</map-entries>
</managed-property>
which can be achieved by changing the defaultValuesBean.vm template like this:
<managed-property>
<property-name>defaultValues</property-name>
<map-entries>
#foreach ($defaultValue in $group.defaultValues.keySet())
<map-entry>
<key>$defaultValue</key>
#if ($group.defaultValues.get($defaultValue).startsWith("#{"))
<value>#{"$group.defaultValues.get($defaultValue)"}</value>
#else <value>$group.defaultValues.get($defaultValue)</value> #end
</map-entry>
#end
</map-entries>
</managed-property>
