Can you show your model & app model code? I'm guessing somewhere
you're not returning true from a beforeValidate() or beforeSave()
method.
Eg. you should do something like this if that's the case.
function beforeSave() {
if ( .... ) {
// cancel the save
return false;
} else {
// modify a field before saving
$this->data[$this->alias]['field'] = 'blah';
}
// ask our parent if it's ok to save!
return parent::beforeSave();
}
