MongoMapper default values and simple_form

Question

I have a Character model which has some defaults and have created a simple form for it (or rather a subclass of the Character model) all tied together by a controller.

The problem is that the form does not get the default values when called by simple_form_for Character.new.

Have I missed some configuration flag I need to set or do I have to edit the simple_form templates?

there is an open pull request for this issue: https://github.com/jnunemaker/mongomapper/pull/393 so you should wait a bit before it will be merged :) BTW, it's not a SimpleForm issue but rails form_for.
