The documentation falls a little short here. The relationmanager only updates with cascades, etc., if you prepare the record you are updating before you make the changes to it. Here is the sequence you must follow: relate:file.save ! "snapshot" current record ! make your changes to the record here. relate:file.update ! do the update The save method (savebuffer might not do this) saves the current key fields that you might be changing, so that when you do the update method, the class can compare to see if anything has been changed. If there is a change to a key field, then the cascade kicks in. Without the save method, the class doesn't know about any changes, because it doesn't know what the initial state of the key values were.
