FAQ
Hi,
I'm using FormFu in Catalyst, with a DBIC schema, and have a problem
with a particular usage of nested relationships in the form.

The table in question has a might_have relationship with another table,
let's say like:
book (id, title, blurb)
book_extra (book_id, num_pages, in_stock)

Now, I setup a form like:
---
elements:
- name: title
type: Text
- type: Block
tag: div
nested_name: book_extra
elements:
- name: num_pages
type: Text
- name: blurb
type: Textarea
- type: Block
tag: div
nested_name: book_extra
elements:
- name: in_stock
type: Checkbox

-----------------------------

The idea being that num_pages and in_stock are sent to the related table
instead.

This *does* work for the first nested item, in this case num_pages.
However the second time it comes up, it doesn't do anything - ie.
in_stock is never saved to the DB.
If I move the in_stock element higher up, in the same Block as
num_pages, then it does work.

Is this a known bug/limitation, or is this supposed to work?
Am I doing something wrong?

thanks,
Toby

    You are missing the counter_name and new_rows_max for the repeatables.
    Look at this bit of YAML that Moritz gave me. You might also look at the
    empty_rows option. Your problem is the counter_name, though.

    - type: Hidden
    name: count
    constraints:
    - Required
    - type: Repeatable
    nested_name: appointment
    counter_name: count
    model_config:
    new_rows_max: 100
    elements:
    ...
