Actually, everything is a string at the UI level if it is
represented in a text control; we have a bunch of logic to do the
conversion. We've just never done it for the time type, since it
usually makes a lot more sense to use datetimes.

Same as you would for creating a new child: self.Form.save("child"),
where 'child' is the DataSource of the child bizobj.

We're trying to remedy that, but there are only so many hours in a
day...
I always encourage people to record their experiences as newcomers
to Dabo on the Wiki, so that others who discover Dabo can learn from
your struggles and avoid some common problems. I also have a
documentation project that I've been working on for the last couple
of months that I hope to make available soon.
