Thanks for your thoughts Adam.
I made a very simple function (below), the result seems to be that
even if there isn't a LensMount entry Cake still deletes the old HABTM
table record, and tries to recreate it. I think the only way I can do
this is to stop using the HABTM relationship and do it manually - in
this case it's not hard to do.
$j = $this->Lens->findById(1);
$j['Lens']['name'] = 'x' . $j['Lens']['name'];
$j['Lens'][0] = null;
$this->Lens->save($j['Lens']))
Other ideas are welcome
Thanks
Tim
