I have found a solution to my problem. A friend of mine googled the
problem and I found an example bit of code that I had not run into before.
counter_name: count
This needs to be added so that the following field will work properly.
- type: Hidden
name: count
This isn't in any example or documentation that I had read so far and I
read a lot of them. Here is my understanding of this issue.
I could not write to any record other than the first one in a has_many
relationship. The answer is that I needed to add a counter_name option
to the form config file. For example:
element:
- type: Repeatable
nested_name: authors
counter_name: count
model_config:
new_empty_row_multi: author
elements:
- type: Hidden
name: id
- type: Text
name: author
- type: Hidden
name: count
The documentation says that the "- type: Hidden" is only needed if you
want to add multiple new empty rows (new_empty_row_multi), but in my
experience, this isn't true. You need it and the counter_name line if
you have more than one row.

I started from scratch using the updated Catalyst tutorial and reread
the documentation. The model_stash problem makes more sense now. I
have set it in the MyApp.conf file. I am still guessing that the
ModelName is supposed to be 'DB'. However, even starting from scratch
and only adding the bare minimum of code to create a has_many form, I
still cannot get it to update anything beond the first record.
Does someone have a sample project they could send me that includes a
working has_many form?
Thanks for the help so far. This is the last project I have to do
before I change jobs and I would like to leave it a success.
If I used the following line to set up the model:
$ script/omtsweb_create.pl model DB DBIC::Schema OMTSWeb::Schema
create=static dbi:SQLite:omtsweb.db
then my ModelName is 'DB'?
