The problem is, it updates/overwrites the previously read record with $this->data. The id of the record is kept at $this->Model->id after doing a read. When you do a save, the id is checked and if there is a value set, it uses that id for saving the record. To reset the value of the id (and any data "residue" in the model), a call to $this->Model->create() is needed. No. It does save $this->data.

Is this because you are creating a model object with read which is filled with data, then when you call say model->save($this->data) in your controller, the data in the model is saved rather than $this->data? Why is this sorry?
