Hi Paul, I hope I understood your use case correct. You using an extended qx.ui.form.List (list) with the qx.data.controller.List (list controller) to fill the list with the data form the server. The add button creates a new ListItem and adds it to the list directly. The submit button tries to get the complete model form the qx.data.controller.Form (form controller), but the model doesn't contain the user created model items.
The problem is that the new items should only added to the model form the list controller. The list controller should then create the ListItems for the new items. The form controller should automatically get the model form the list controller. When you need to keep the data from the server, you can copy the data array, but keep in mind that this in only a shallow copy.
