Quick reply! Got a meeting in 2 minutes... Process Person::add() as normal, once you call $this->Person->save($this->data); call $id = $this->Person->id; (The id of the last inserted row)
Then do $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'subordinates', 'action' => 'add', $id)); (/subordinates/add/<id>) (function add($id=null) { .. } ) In subordinates, check if $id is set and if it's a valid person, if so - find the persons name, add it to your view for the user to see they are adding subordinates to that particular person. Have the form submit to the same URL (/subordinates/add/<id>) and when saving it, if the id is present manually do $this->data['Subordinate']['person_id'] = $id; Hope that made sense!
