I really wish I could come but my employer definitely will not pay for it.

Every time I try to use D2W I get a certain distance into it and then feel as as if I'd be faster developing a standard WO app than navigating a whole new manner of thinking (and composing rules). Figuring out how to make a D2W app flexible has been hard for me to wrap my head around.

>>>>>>>>> Anyway, the subject above is probably a misnomer: I'm not trying to create particularly complex objects, but I am trying to do something outside CRUD, which is pretty much all I've ever done with D2W before.  In the model, a Billable object has an optional to-one relationship to Invoice.  When I create a Billable, it initially has no related Invoice.  Later I will create an Invoice for a client, and collect together some set of Billables, and the relationship is created at that time.  And that's the bit I need a pattern for: Invoice creation.  Billable also has a mandatory relationship to Practice (i.e., a client), and a startTime timestamp.  When I go to create an Invoice, I'd give the Invoice a date and select a Practice, and then I want to add, say, all of the Billables that (a) belong to no other Invoice, (b) point to the same Practice, and (c) have a startTime that falls before the new Invoice.date.
