hey Chris,
I'm assuming that you will pass the chosen number of order lines back
to your controller when the form is submitted yes?
If so, why couldn't you do something like :
$this->data['OrderLine']['order_id'] = $order_id;
for ($i = 0; $i < $number_order_lines; $i++)
{
$this->Order->OrderLine->create();
$this->Order->OrderLine->save($this->data['OrderLine']);
}
HTH,
