Journal cannot be defaulted in Customer Invoice Form

[Balaji Kannan]

I have 5 journals of type "sale". I have set the third journal in the list to be the default. However, when new customer invoices are created, the first journal in the list always gets applied.

Result observed: If the default journal is not the 1st one in the list (the order is done on the Journal Code), then the default is not being set.

Result Expected: The default (third journal in the list) should be applied to the journal field.

For e.g.,

a. Be in the developer mode
b. set the following journals of type "Sale"

1. Code="EBay", Name="eBay"
2. Code="LS", Name="Local Sales"
3. Code="SAJ" Name="Sales Journal"

c. Create a new customer invoice and select "Sales Journal" in the journal field.
d. Set the default for all users for this field.
e. Discard the customer invoice.
f. Create a new customer invoice.
g. Note that the journal shows "eBay" instead of "Sales Journal"

This is becoming a problem with users forgetting to update the journal to the right one. Can this issue be prioritized?

I've tried to change this through code and it doesn't work. I've tried inheriting the field and changing the default function. I've even tried to change the default_get function on account.invoice module and nothing helps. It will always be the first one by default... ??
