Re: question about automagic 'modified' field

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried creating a parent behavior, but,
proved too complex for a newbie like me.
Instead I just handled it the afterSave() of the "child" method. I
just force the update of the 'modified' field there.
I'll work on a more generic way to do this when I have more cake
experience = )

Thank You.
