ASP.NET MVC - Html.DropDownList - Value not set via ViewData.Model

Question

Have just started playing with ASP.NET MVC and have stumbled over the following situation. It feels a lot like a bug but if its not, an explanation would be appreciated :)<

My concern with this is that you may only use the list for one field. I have Entities with multiple user fields, so I use the following:

< %= Html.DropDownList("fieldAAA", 
                       new SelectList( (IEnumerable) ViewData["Users"], "Value", "Text", fieldAAA))

%>
