Summary	0004067: Ability to create sub-records (one-to-one case)
Description	Make it so that you can set up catalogues A and B, such that A has a reference into B, and when you add a new entry to B you can create entries for catalogue A in-form via an XML syntax, and those entries would be set to reference the new entry for B when created. Allow it to work on edit also, with XML representing existing entries. It would be enabled by field options on the single-reference field in catalogue A. For example, let's imagine catalogue A is song and catalogue B is artist. When you add an artist you could specify some XML like... <new-records> <song Title="Bad Romance" Rating="3" Explicit="false" /> <song Title="Just Dance" Rating="3" Explicit="false" /> </new-records> Probably the field would show a commented example by default, so you could see the field names etc to use. And it'd have to have some kind of error-handling algorithm (maybe just tell you your mistakes and be tolerant).
Additional Information	This is a power-user feature to make adding complex structures easier. Otherwise you're having to go off and add the song records in dependently, for each selecting the reference, which is tedious.
