I have a container objectManager called 'Vehicle'. 'Repair', which is a simpleItem, is stored inside a Vehicle instance.
When a Repair is created or edited, it should update the containing Vehicle's odometer reading by calling updateOdometer(newreading) on the Vehicle it is belongs to. I tried adding self.aq_parent.updateOdometer(newReading) to Repair.py's update method.
I would directly use "self.updateOdometer" and let acquisition find the correct object. You need to worry about "aq_parent" (and friends) only, when acquisition does not find the correct method (e.g. when "self" defined the method, too). To get the container of an object ("self"), you use self.aq_inner.aq_parent "self.aq_parent" is usually *not* what you want. Dieter
