Yes I added them to the relationship - I just assume that if I iterate through the data markers on the relationship including the new ones it'll hit the database a bunch, loading in the faults as I look for isVisible=true
I'm porting this from WebObjects and looking at the old code they passed the new data markers in and added them to the return list pulled from the database. I was wondering if there's a way to get, for example, non-persisted entries of a certain type. I'll look at the api. If I have to I'll just pull them all out of the database and filter them. There's only a small number of users with hundreds of data markers - most people only have a few.
