Hi,

Shalabh helped me a lot further, he gave me an external method which helps me on the way, however I would like to know if it's possible to write this in a DTML-method. If this isn't possible, then why isn't this possible?

Here is the external method (placed in the Methods view of a class)

def manage_afterAdd(self,item,container): item.myparent=container.id return

Is it possible to write this in DTML?

No, not directly as far as I know. But refering to you first question: is there any reason why a

<from the top of my head>

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('parent', container.id)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">

after you created the instance would not work? I do this all the time. Or do I misunderstand your question?

Yup, that works, I found the solution a little bit after I sended the question. This was my problem (dumb!) : <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('parent', container.id)"> Tom.
