Hey, I'm running into a very similar problem. I didn't name my class
project, but I may as well have. For the sake of this discussion I'm
pretending it's called project (like in the agility tutorial)

For me, @project isn't defined because the project object is part of a
collection, my form, which is inside of a repeat tag, changed the
context from Project to ProjectCustodian.  Again, @project isn't
defined because I'm inside a repeat tag.  I also don't have access to
&this_parent.

What do I do?
