Hmm.. but I need to set the relation on the "Many" side. Again my problem:

Concert: one- inversed side
Artist: many- owning side


I want to create a Concert with one Artist, thus creating a form for a 
concert and a field for the artist property:

<f:form.textbox id="artist" property="artists.0.name" />


In the controller I expect a Concert object:

public function createAction(Concert $newConcert)


And this is what I get:

A Concert object, which has one Artist object associated. But when I 
var_dump the concert property of the Artist object, it is empty.

So the owning (many) side has a missing relation and the inversed side 
(one) has the correct relation.

And the owning side is what get's persisted, so relation is lost after 
persisting.

This sounds so strange, that this should be a feature.

That would be awesome.


Kind regards,
