[Pavlos Christoforou]

Hi Tom,

I have not followed the thread so might be talking nonsense ... but today
I am in the mood for talking nonsense anyway ...

The way I would do it is in your products add method, say if your ZClass
is named SuperDeprezClass then the method should be SuperDeprezClass_add.

in there you can add:

 <dtml-call "propertysheets.<propertysheet name>.manage_editProperties(
                  REQUEST)">

assuming your property sheet defines a property myparent and it is
available
in the REQUEST (in the form for example) object then it should be added at
creation time.

This one  have not tried before but something along these lines might
work:

def manage_afterAdd(self,item,container): 
	item.manage_changeProperties({'parent':container.id})


All untested but hopefully helpful
