Re: HABTM can't save manually

When using that behavior, you must be sure when adding a new Tag to an
Artist, that there already exists at least one other Tag for the
Artist.
The behavior should be modified to just add the new one. That is what
I understand from looking at the source code.

You could also go for the solution, which is mentioned at the bottom
of the page about saving HABTM data in the CakePHP book at:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1034/Saving-Related-Model-Data-HABTM

Keep up the good work, enjoy,
John
