[Featureserver] PostGIS insert statement question

Hello Everyone,

I'm hoping someone can suggest how to solve an error I'm getting when 
trying to insert a record into a PostGIS datasource:

An error occurred: column "geometry" of relation "padus_v1_mn_edits" does not exist
LINE 1: ...T INTO "padus_v1_mn_edits" (comm_date, wdpa_name, geometry, ...
                                                             ^

  File "/var/www/featureserver-pine/web_request/handlers.py", line 219, in cgi
    accepts = accepts )
  File "/var/www/featureserver-pine/FeatureServer/Server.py", line 167, in dispatchRequest
    result = method(action)
  File "/var/www/featureserver-pine/FeatureServer/DataSource/PostGIS.py", line 116, in create
    cursor.execute(str(sql), self.feature_values(feature))



Looks like the insert statement uses the column name "geometry" when it 
should be "the_geom"

Below is my config for the layer.  Any help would be much appreciated.  
I guess I can just rename my geometry column.  But I was hoping to get 
it working with the current name. 

Thanks,
Jennifer
