I am continuously having problems with disabled items. Especially in cases where some form of authorization is in place. Some users are allowed to make changes to certain items, for other users they are hidden using authorization scheme security.
As Jarola points out in the previous thread, disabled items should not be submitted.
The problem is that Apex does submit them.
Disabled items are submitted with a null value. Thus bypassing the default values that are defined in either the apex application or in the database table.
How do I get around this problem? Create my own DML processing? Database triggers to handle null values? I don't really need a 3rd place to define default values.
