You just have to write some code! Like I said, not through [validation] rules.[/quote]
its not about not wanting to write code... its about doing it the most elegant way....Checking that the project doesnt already have a stage with that year value is trivial to write.. I just dont think its something that belongs in my controller.... I dont understand why you say its not a validation issue when you defined the function unique_pair
