The reason why it works in Jeff's case is that the field is of type 
'passthrough' and that it only displays some information in the BE-form 
(it does not add a "real" field). This doesn't fit in my case. The 
category field is a "real" field in the BE-form (not in the database) 
and the data from it exists in the "$incomingFieldArray" variable in 
tcemain. I need it this way in order to trigger tcemain to write the 
MM-relation records.

apart from that the extension looks really cool, Jeff (if you're reading 
this). Hope I will get a case where I can make use of it. WEC rocks 
TYPO3 :-)
