Alex,
I am trying to set companyStatus to the default value after the XPL (call to our MS SQL Server database) returns but that's what I can't figure out. It works using the xforms-enabled event but only if select1 items are constructed from an instance in the model. If the select1 items are retrieved from our SQL Sever database trying to set the default value in the companyStatus element via xforms-enabled event does not work. I've attached a slightly different view.xhtlm example. It's complete except for the XPL file (I'm not sure if you need that or not). In this example I retrieve "1 week" through "9 week" from the DB. The first section were the serverOperatingSystem is set via xforms-enabled event works but the second section where the weeks are set does not.
In the XML below (after submission) you can see that weeks attribute value label has not been set nor has the week element value, however, serverOperatingSystem has been set.
<addServer-main>
<addFilesystem sectionLabel="Add Filesystem">
<weeks label="" fieldLabel="Weeks:"/>
</addFilesystem>
<addServer sectionLabel="Add Server Header">
<serverOperatingSystem label="Windows" fieldLabel="Operating System:">Windows</serverOperatingSystem>
</addServer>
</addServer-main>
In the XML below I clicked on the select1 control and picked "2 week". This actions fired the xforms-value-changed event which ran the xforms:setvalue commands correctly (as programmed) that set the label attribute and element value.
<addServer-main>
<addFilesystem sectionLabel="Add Filesystem">
<weeks label="2 week" fieldLabel="Weeks:">2</weeks>
</addFilesystem>
<addServer sectionLabel="Add Server Header">
<serverOperatingSystem label="Unix" fieldLabel="Operating System:">Unix</serverOperatingSystem>
</addServer>
</addServer-main>
Thanks again for your help.

Martin,
Since this is not a stand-alone example, we can't run it here and modify it to do the right thing. But it looks to me like you need to set the value of companyStatus to the "default value" if empty, maybe after the call to the XPL that returns the instance that contains companyStatus.
I hope this helps; otherwise, could you provide a stand-alone, minimal example, that runs in the XForms sandbox and that shows this issue?
