Hi All,

To start out with, this is essentially a budget request type, where I would
like users to submit an request with line items and "sub"line items. Now,
the brute force way would be to have a set number of spaces for "lineitems".
However, I figured I could leverage the array function. As such, I figured
the easiest way was to have, under my "budgetRequest" custom type, an array
of "lineItem" types that hold basic information (category number &
description, $ amounts, etc). However, I also want to be able to split up
that line item with subitems. The process I envision is:

   1. User goes to online form
   2. Clicks on "add line item"
   3. Window pops up going straight to editing a line item, with button for
   "add new sub item"
   4. Closing sub item adds to line item array / library list of line item
   5. Closing item adds line item to array list of budget request

However, I read somewhere in the documents that you can't open a library and
have another type with an array in there. The questions then I need answers
to are:

   1. Is something like this even possible? Or am I thinking too hard
   2. Which file controls the opening of the library function, so that I can
   change it not to show a display of other line items, but only add new ones.
   3. How do I specify the name of the "Open Library" button to be "Add Line
   Item"

Maybe an easier way would be to have both "add line item" and "add sub line
item" on the main budget request form. Then, the "sub line item"
automatically fills in a <cfproperty type="array" ftRenderType="list"> with
the line items from my budget request. This could be filled in by using
(ftLibraryDataSQLWhere "budgetid = XXX", which the line item would have as a
property). The only question *here* then is: when does the uuid get set for
my new budget request? Can I set it before the submission of the form so
that the line item and sub line items have this as a reference?

Ok, a lot of questions there, feel free to answer any of them.

Thanks,

Tomek
