I wrote flat database because I wanted some features ListMate didn't have
and didn't want ZClasses.  I basically copied the structure from ListMate,
so it's probably not the best design possible for ZPatterns. So (1) may not
be possible with the current code.

Maybe try creating entries like so:

<dtml-let entry="newItem(id)">
  <dtml-call "entry.manage_addProperty('col_workshopid','string','TEST')">
  <dtml-call "entry.manage_addProperty('col_firstname','string','TEST')">
  <dtml-call "entry.manage_addProperty('col_lastname','string','TEST')">
  ...
  </dtml-let>

manage_addEntry doesn't return the new entry.

Idon't  remember how this works anymore, frankly.  The source code is your
friend :)
