I don't believe there is a built-in solution. I came up with some code that works, but you would definitely want to put it into its own function so that it can be used by multiple controller actions. Also, it's not perfect. For example, it would fail on a date field since CakePHP has date fields rendered as <code>select</code>s in forms. This is for an edit action. Original code: <pre><code>public function edit($id = null) { $this->User->id = $id; if (!$this->User->exists()) { throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid user')); } if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) { if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved')); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.')); } } else { $this->request->data = $this->User->read(null, $id); } } </code></pre> Modified code: <pre><code>public function edit($id = null) { $this->User->id = $id; if (!$this->User->exists()) { throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid user')); } if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) { $originalData = unserialize(base64_decode($this->request->data['Extra']['original_data'])); $save = $this->request->data; unset($save['Extra']); foreach ($save as $model => $modelFields) { if (!array_key_exists($model, $originalData)) { continue; } foreach ($modelFields as $field => $value) { if (!array_key_exists($field, $originalData[$model])) { continue; } if ($save[$model][$field] === $originalData[$model][$field]) { unset($save[$model][$field]); } } } $this->User->set($save); if ($this->User->validates() && $this->User->save($save, false)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved')); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.')); } } else { $this->request->data = $this->User->read(null, $id); $this->request->data['Extra']['original_data'] = base64_encode(serialize($this->request->data)); } } </code></pre> Also, add this somewhere in the form in <code>edit.ctp</code>: <pre><code>echo $this->Form->hidden('Extra.original_data'); </code></pre>

1. COThanks! That's definitely a step in the right direction. Also, I hate the way CakePHP handles dates as three separate selects anyway, so I've laid out dates as text fields.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
