title: joomla 2.5 pass default value to new item
body: <p>I like to create a new item out of a backend list view. 
  For the new Item I'd like to pass a default value that depends on the current list (actual year).</p>
  
  <p>How can i do this with Joomla 2.5?</p>
  
  <p>I'm able to pass the value to the controller for the new item (by JRequest::getInt('AValue') ) on current controller by overwriting the add() method.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function add()
  {
      $AValue = JRequest::getInt('AValue');
      if($AValue == null)
      {
          $AValue = 2012;
      }
      parent::add();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried to get the model and assign the value to it but the getModel() method returned a different object than the one used in the definitive view.</p>
  
  <p>Any Idea how to get the Value to the new Item's form?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
