Thanks for the tip. Sadly, I'm still having problems with it. When I
add <?=$form->input('id');?> to the view, all it does is generate <input
type="hidden" name="data[Application][id]" value="" id="ApplicationId"
/> which doesn't change anything in my controller when I print the
contents of $this->data. I also tried making the field called
application_id in the form, but it didn't have an effect either.
It's really stumping me. Any idea what's going on? Since my primary
key on Merit is application_id, should Cake already know that if I'm
trying to set $this->Merit->id?
