Please note, I haven't tried this, so take this with a grain of salt.
The cfa_container tag takes a lDefaultRuleTypeIDs attribute. Supposedly this
allows you to default a rule in the container. A cursory check of the code
makes it seem like nothing actually puts this rule in when the container is
created. I believe it simply defaults that particular rule when you first do
an edit.
Hmm, ok, I looked around a bit, and from what I can see, you can mimic what
the default container editor does to add a rule. It checks how many rules
are in the container [ ArrayLen(object.aRules) ], and adds one to it. It
then creates a new object of the rule type, setting the object ID = (object
id of container).aRules[newposition]. Which is how you set an embedded
object into an array property.
Does this make sense? To see what I'm talking about, look at
\spectra\handlers\system\publishing\container\editor\editorrules.cfm.
p.s. This looks like a good candidate for a custom tag.
