Perhaps it would be best to leave the binding available via the context but default to false in the rules. That way, it could have a restricted choice list, a default choice pre-selected, and no way to set the value to null since having the "- please choose -" or whatever may indicate that null is an acceptable option. I agree with Anjo that this is probably a bad idea and will lead to users blindly saving values. Defaulting to the first item in the list is certainly not appropriate. Users should be required to think about their selections before saving them. Hence, the default should be false... But there is another camp of people who believe that the application should "just know" what you're supposed to pick, select it for you, and give you a filtered list of choices for cases when the default is not the appropriate choice. This can certainly cut down on repetitive menu selections on large forms.

Or you could just work with a local copy of Wonder in your workspace and make changes whenever necessary. Even easier than subclassing when you only want to make minor modifications.
