I disagree that, that is how it should work. If you put checked, you should get checked. Being specific gets specific behavior, leaving things undefined gets you magic. If you want default values, the populate $this->data in your controller, when the action has no POST data. This will get you the behaviour you want. -Mark Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
