I have a form that contains a repeatable block that I'm using with Catalyst. Everything works fine for existing master records. However, when I use the form to create a new record, every record in the table for the has many relationship. This is less than optimal.

Here's the repeatable block from the form definition:

  - type: Repeatable
    name: invoice_lines
    nested_name: invoice_items
    counter_name: line_cnt
    auto_id: "%n"
    attributes:
      class: data_row invoice_item
    elements:
      - type: Hidden
        name: ivi_id
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_desc
        elements:
          - type: Text
            name: ivi_desc
            size: 75
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_unit_price numeric
        elements:
            - type: Text
              name: ivi_unit_price
              size: 8
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_quantity numeric
        elements:
          - type: Text
            name: ivi_quantity
            size: 5
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_total_price numeric
        elements:
          - type: "+Coatesoft::FormFu::Element::DataLabel"
            name: ivi_total_price
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_account
        elements:
          - type: Select
            name: ivi_account
            model_config:
              resultset: Accounts
              id_column: acc_id
              label_column: acc_title
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_item
        elements:
          - type: Select
            name: ivi_item
            empty_first: 1
            empty_first_label: <no inventory item>
            model_config:
              resultset: Items
              id_column: itm_id
              label_column: itm_description
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_tax_type
        elements:
          - type: Select
            name: ivi_tax_type
            empty_first: 1
            empty_first_label: <no tax>
            model_config:
              resultset: Taxes
              id_column: tax_id
              label_column: tax_desc
      - type: Block
        attributes:
          class: ivi_memo
        elements:
          - type: Text
            name: ivi_memo
            size: 100


And here's the relevant part of my Catalyst controller:

sub edit :Local :FormConfig('invoices/edit_invoice.yml') {
  my ($self, $c, $ivc_id) = @_;

  if ($c->request->param('cancel')) {
    $c->response->redirect($c->uri_for("/invoices"));
    $c->detach();
  }

  my $invoice = ($ivc_id) ? $c->model('DB::Invoices')->find($ivc_id)
                          : $c->model('DB::Invoices')->new_result({});

  my $form = $c->stash->{form};
  if ($form->submitted_and_valid()) {
    $form->process();
    $form->model->update($invoice);

    if (! $c->request->param('draft')) {
      # Save to accounts
    }

    $c->response->redirect($c->uri_for("/invoices"));
    $c->detach();
  }
}

Any ideas, folks?

Thanks,
