Has populate_list stopped working for quotes in 7.10?

Eventually you have to set the attribute 'auto_populate':

$dictionary['Quote']['fields']['customer_name_c']['auto_populate'] = true;

Hmmm.... I don't remember ever including that before. And still doesn't work. Below is the full vardef from cache/modules/Quotes/Quotevardefs.php. Another strange side effect is that it does put the name value from the Contact into the name of Quote. See image below. No Customer Email, not Customer Phone Number but the Customer Name becomes the Quote Subject. 

    'customer_name_c' => 
    array (
      'labelValue' => 'Customer',
      'dependency' => '',
      'populate_list' => 
      array (
        0 => 'name',
        1 => 'id',
        2 => 'phone_work',
        3 => 'email1',
      ),
      'field_list' => 
      array (
        0 => 'customer_name_c',
        1 => 'contact_id_c',
        2 => 'cust_phone_number_c',
        3 => 'email_c',
      ),
      'auto_populate' => true,
      'required' => true,
      'source' => 'non-db',
      'name' => 'customer_name_c',
      'vname' => 'LBL_CUSTOMER_NAME',
      'type' => 'relate',
      'massupdate' => false,
      'no_default' => false,
      'comments' => '',
      'help' => '',
      'importable' => 'true',
      'duplicate_merge' => 'disabled',
      'duplicate_merge_dom_value' => 0,
      'audited' => false,
      'reportable' => true,
      'unified_search' => false,
      'merge_filter' => 'disabled',
      'calculated' => false,
      'len' => 255,
      'size' => '20',
      'id_name' => 'contact_id_c',
      'ext2' => 'Contacts',
      'module' => 'Contacts',
      'rname' => 'name',
      'quicksearch' => 'enabled',
      'studio' => 'visible',
      'id' => 'Quotescustomer_name_c',
      'custom_module' => 'Quotes',
    ),

Could it be a syntax issue?

This is working for me in 7.9.2, note that the entry is named, not numbered. I've not yet installed 7.10.x

$dictionary['Product']['fields']['product_template_name']['populate_list']['platforms_available_c'] = 'platforms_available_c';

I added a relate contact field my_contact_c/contact_id_c and a phone field my_contact_phone_c to accounts.

Then I created custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardes/my_contact.php with following content:

<?php
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['my_contact_c']['auto_populate'] = true;
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['my_contact_c']['populate_list'] = array(
// source => target,
'name' => 'my_contact_c',
'id' => 'contact_id_c',
'phone_work' => 'my_contact_phone_c',
);
?>

After clearing the cache and QR&R I could select a contact in an Account and teh field my_contact_phone_c was filled automatically.

Thanks to Francesca Shiekh for the right direction!
