[Deprecated] DMZ 1.5.4 (DataMapper OverZealous Edition)

[eluser]Mirage[/eluser]
Sorry for the double post in 1.5.3 - I reposting here:

Question: Why doesn't DataMapper automatically try to insert new relations. Right now I have to save related items before I can save the relation itself

Code:

// Each contribution record has ONE transaction
// This works:
$contrib = new Contribution();
$trans    = new Transaction();

$trans->save();
$contrib->save($trans);

// This doesn't work
$contrib = new Contribution();
$trans    = new Transaction();

$contrib->save($trans);

Hope I'm making myself clear. Both objects represent NEW records - I'd have thought that if record has never been saved, DMZ would just go ahead and make it so.

Thanks,
Juergen
