[TYPO3-mvc] f:form.select is not saved

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi Again!

Now, I already found out, that a single select (multiple=false) attaches 
the object in 1:1 relationships, but the uid of the object is required 
in order to get saved correctly.

In n:1 relationships (which are according to the extbase book best 
realized by an n:m relationship having maxitems set to 1) the single 
select doesn't work out at all, because in the name of the form element, 
the [] indicating a new array element is missing.
When I add this [] in the Viewhelper, the object is saved correctly.

IMHO these are two bugs. Can anyone please confirm or explain that 
behaviour to me? If someone confirms, I will file the bugs.

Please answer, before I go insane talking to myself on this list...

best regards,
Christian
