[Zope] Solved (was RE: Data type coercion and "records")

[Mayers, Philip J]

Doh - my fault... RTFM I think...

I think I misread the linked page. When unmarshalling the records, Zope will
only create a new record in the list if the current record already has the
given attribute. So, provided you always put the textboxes before the
checkboxes, it will always work.

Unless there are non-compliant browsers out there...

Regards,
Phil

*Now* I remember why I like Zope so much...

I'm using the ":records" to marshall a complex hierarchical form, and I'm a
little worried by this comment:
