Sorry, I made a mistake.
$this->data['Genre'][] = 51;
should be
$this->data['Genre']['id'][] = 51;
You want to append '51' to the 'id' array, not the parent ('Genre').
How are you checking to see if the value was added? Try it like this
and log your data array.
if (isset($this->data['Genre']['id']) &&
is_array($this->data['Genre']['id']) && !in_array('51',
$this->data['Genre']['id']))
{
$this->data['Genre']['id'][] = 51;
}
Debugger::log($this->data);
