Ahh I figured out thanks to teknoid. I had forgotten to put the ID of the recipe in a hidden field in the edit form. Check out this excellent post from teknoid.

I am having an issue with saveAll() in my edit method which I am hoping you can help me with. For some reason that I cant determine it's creating new records in both tables instead up updating them. I am sure it's something goofy that I have missed. I would expect from what I have read <a href="http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/ practical-use-of-saveall-part-1-working-with-multiple-models/ #comment-907">here</a> that saveAll would update not insert the records. class Recipe extends AppModel { var $hasMany= array('IngredientList'); } class IngredientList extends AppModel { var $belongsTo = array('Recipe'); } function edit($id = null) { $this->Recipe->id = $id; $this->set_recipe_types(); $this->set_ingredients(); $this->set_measurement_types(); $this->set('ingredient_list', $this->IngredientList->find('all', array ('recipe_id' => $id))); if (empty($this->data)) { $this->data = $this->Recipe->read(); } else { if ($this->Recipe->saveAll($this->data)) { $this->flash('Your recipe has been updated.','/recipes'); } } } Thanks for any advice you can give. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
