How to pre fill a select box in render

Hello There

I have this create:

<?php

	public function createComponentMyForm() {
		$form = new Form();
		$form->addSelect('clients_id', 'Klient:', array())
			->setPrompt("Choose one");

		$form->addCheckbox('settled', 'Settled:');

		/* more stuff here */

		return $form;
?>

I fill the form in my renderClients method like this:

<?php
	public function renderAddClientUsage($userId)
	{
		$clients = $this->clientsManager
					->findByUserId($userId)
					->fetchPairs('id', 'company');

		$this["MyForm"]["clients_id"]->setItems($clients);
		$this["MyForm"]["settled"]->setDefaultValue(TRUE);
	}
?>

The form is rendered correctly, In the html source code I can see a populated select with options.

But! if I submit this form and dump the

<?php
	$form->getValues();
?>

I get null in the return array for the clients_id key. The settled key is pre filled correctly. could you please explain why? I use this technic to pre fill all kinds of input types but only the select fails?

Thanks in advance
