auto-populate custom field during a creation of a new Account

Hi,

I’ve a custom field in my Account named as f_c. Now what I want to achieve is to have this field populated with some information fetched from current user during the creation of a new account. What is the best way to do this?

Regards,
Mario

Simple custom view works for me: ( exists a better way? )
inserted the following code in ./custom/modules/Accounts/views/view.edit.php

<?php  
  if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
  require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
  class CustomViewEdit extends ViewEdit{
    function preDisplay(){
    	global $current_user; 
    	$this->bean->f_c = isset($this->bean->id) ? $this->bean->f_c : $current_user->f_c;
        parent::preDisplay(); 
    }
  }

?>
