Thanks for posting the solution.
Well I've got the same problem! But it looks like you have the fix.
However I can't quite get my head around it because in your example
you refer to $category in
$category["CandidateItem"]["CandidateItem"][$count] = this->Category-
>CandidateItem->getLastInsertID();
But where does that $category come from? Is it the $this->data
['Category']? In which case should it be $category["Candidate"]
["CandidateItem"]?
