Hey guys, I just had a look at the core files and patched something up this afternoon... Now I can build multi-record forms as Travis suggested by using some kind of loop and $form->input("Model.".$id.".field"); works pretty well, only validation and saving of course still needs to be handled by m

Luke, I did find what you described but could not get it to work for the input name, only the input value. I recently posted a blog entry on multi-record forms, including redisplaying the errors, although it sounds like you got it sorted, using a similar approach to what I have used in my blog pos
