You use "<dtml-in objectValues>" in a DTML Method (!)

or better:

	<dtml-with project>
	  <dtml-in objectValues>
	   ...
	  </dtml-in>
	</dtml-with>

to generate the "select"'s option list.

The action activated by submitting your selection form,
will render your property form. To access
the subproject's properties, it will look like:

    <dtml-with "_.getitem(selectedSubproject)">
      ....
      <input name="PROPERTY" value="&dtml-PROPERTY;">
      ....
    </dtml-with>

This assumes that the "select"'s name in the selection form
is "selectedSubproject" and you want to access a property
named "PROPERTY".


It seems that some background reading may help you.
