-edit creating new records in portal??? why?

[tabletopjoe]

I have an asset management system for our labs here... tables for computers, peripherlas, problems, etc... All logical names for systmes are stored in a related table of names to serial numbers... works great, just right.. the way it should be designed.

I'm setting up a simple update page in CDML... all fields, using -edit to update the record... the problem is that the related field isn't updated, rather a new record is created in the related table.

anyone else have a problem like this?

You need to be able to indicate which row is being edited. You do this with "relationship::myfield.2" etc.

All the best.

p.s. I think there was a thread on an alternative way of editing rows of a portal.
