default value support for Entity Framework object construction to avoid having to set this column parameter

Question

Hi,

In entity framework is there a way to have a default value for a column such that Linq to Entity won't require this parameter when constructing a new object?

For example I've marked on column in the EF designer with a default value (I typed in "All" as it was a string). But if I try to construct a new record and not specify this parameter I still get a FOREIGN KEY constraint exception.

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_FunctionalityTypeInterfaceRelationship"
