Today I tried an empty install using Web Matrix. The only change I made was changing it to use MVC templates instead of WebForms, still nothing.

Unless somebody has any ideas I guess the next thing to do is download the source and add some logging so I can perhaps figure out where it fails.

I've finally found a solution to this problem. By calling the Save method on the ContentService at the end of Sitereactor.StandardValues.Events.InsertStandardValueInDocument.

My updated InsertStandardValueInDocument looks like this:

public class InsertStandardValueInDocument : ApplicationBase
{
    public InsertStandardValueInDocument()
    {
        ContentService.Created += ContentService_Created;
    }

    void ContentService_Created(IContentService sender, Umbraco.Core.Events.NewEventArgs<Umbraco.Core.Models.IContent> e)
    {
        var content = e.Entity;

        var repository = new Repository();
        if(repository.NodeExists(content.ContentTypeId) == false)
            return;

        var service = new Service(repository);
        service.SetStandardValueProperties(sender, content);
        sender.Save(content);
    }
}

I don't know if this the correct way to solve the problem, but it works (at least in Umbraco 6.1.5).

is there an update that includes this fix? i have the same problem.

is working on a reply...
