After digging a few months now in Drupal 7 and learned the basic concepts of the architecture i am stuck on something that looks pretty straight forward... .

I know how to alter forms that are in the website (such as the search form or the login form)... but i can't get it work to alter the node edit/create form (the one that shows up in the "overlay"... with the (custom)fields.

What i want to achieve is to change the default value of a select field when the form pops up in the overlay.

I tried the _form_alter(...) en also the admin theme seven_form_alter(...) hook but nothing gave the opportunity to alter the node edit/create form... . Can someone give me the right push to get back on track? Google didn't help me further on this one and am getting a little bit depressed... .

Links like these, i hoped helped but they didn't: drupal alter node edit form

thx

Hi The form alter should work irrespective of what the form is in Drupal. It will work for each and every form in Drupal provided you have give a proper condition to check the form id first.

One more suggestion. when you are trying form operations in Drupal disable the overlay module temporarily & then work on it..
