Almost right. If you want to set default values, use initial_values. All 
new records get the value you set here.

edit_values is for editing existing records. Suppose you want to set 
some statusfield to 'edited', when editing a record, you can do that in 
the edit_values function.

Both functions have the same syntax:

funtion initial_values()
{
  return array("attribname"=>"attribvalue");

  // Example:
  // return array("status"=>"new",
  //              "date"=>"2002-07-15");
}

 the current dateI'm not sure initial_values will work there, but you 
can try. The reason I'm not sure is that, in class.hours.inc, there is 
already some logic implemented to remember if you went to a specific day 
from the weekview. That might override the initial_values setting.
