So, correct me if I'm wrong in any of this for I haven't dug too deep into this exact issue.
I've noticed through developing many collection types, there's no direct association to tying items back to an object after the submit action took place and that it's based off the 0-indexed order in the Collection. This default use case seems to work great if you're issuing the same exact query to build the data object layer. Now to explain where doing this has failed me. I've created a full jQuery / Ajax site that never does any redirects. I do refresh content of certain blocks within the page, however, I am now forced to update the form as well. I noticed after manipulating the form in the DOM (by doing a drag / drop reordering, or anything else like this), the first submit works, but anything after the first yields incorrect saves to the DB. I feel that this isn't the way to do things when dealing with collections. I've always (unless I've been wrong the entire time) have done collections like: <input type="text" name="children[0][title]" value="Foo" /> <input type="hidden" name="children[0][id]" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="children[0][position]" value="1" /> <input type="text" name="children[1][title]" value="Bar" /> <input type="hidden" name="children[1][id]" value="2" /> <input type="hidden" name="children[1][position]" value="2" /> And do updates based on the 'id' and if it isn't present, to create a new one. Also, this is untested, but I'm assuming that if a user is doing something like repositioning a form collection's children, and in the backend, an item was deleted... that if the user was to then save the form, it would either create a new item to replace that one, or completely ignore it without the user knowing about it (which could be BAD especially in my industry). Anyway, I hope someone has been to where I'm at and understands this is a problem...
