And then use the DataService.dataStore.mergeRequired property to know when another client has had changes to the current data entity and then call DataService.dataStore.merge() to take in the changes if u want.

It's small, and basically just a big form comprised of about 75 fields; radio groups, comboboxes, text inputs, etc. Each time a new form is submitted it creates one row in a large table. The form can be retreived and edited later, which just updates the values in that existing row. Since two or three people can have the same form (record) open at the same time, I would like to use FDS to manage the data and stop them from overwriting each other when they click "save" but... the FDS documentation and tutorials state in several places that you can only manage ArrayCollections of objects. Problem is that in my case I couldn't possibly pull over 3000 records into an ArrayCollection, it would be too big and slow. Is there a way to retreive and manage a single custom object containing a single form/record instead of an entire ArrayCollection of objects? Any examples or tutorials out there showing how to do this? Could I possibly use some function to identify & select a single record, and then pull that one record over into an ArrayCollection that FDS would manage? That seems a little cumbersome.
