  Thanks Jonahan -


  I'll give it a shot - any idea where in the source I would look?

    I'm trying to create a context-based id based on the properties.

    There must be a way to customize the python constructor such that instead of two steps there is a third step that reassigns the value of the id based on properties *after* they are assigned.

    I'm a designer, not a programmer - can somebody help me out here?

    I'm looking for someone to fill in the third blank:

    (1) Add a new instance of the ZClass
    request = context.REQUEST
    instance = container.MyZClass.createInObjectManager(request['id'], request)

    (2) update a property sheet from the form values
    instance.propertysheets.MyZClassProperties.manage_editProperties(request)

    (3) set id to be equal several properties (such as section-chapter-book)

    There is a manage_rename routine.  I have never used it myself (other than indirectly by clicking on the 'Rename' button on the ZMI display) so I don't know the parameters required.  I would guess it would be something like:

    <dtml-call "manage_rename(old_id, new_id)">
    or
    <dtml-call "old_id.manage_rename(new_id)">
    or
    <dtml-call "old_id.manage_rename(id=new_id)


    If these don't work, try looking at the source or maybe someone else on the mailing list has some experience with it.
