Instead, when saving the parent `DataObject`, all the child inline-editable elements that have unsaved changes are inline saved at the same time. This change was done to consolidate the saving process down to a single code path. The code that was previously used to process any element data sent with the parent data has been removed. + ### Define scaffolded form fields for relations to `DataObject` models {#scaffolded-relation-formfields} Most `DataObject` classes will rely on some amount of automatic scaffolding of form fields in their [`getCMSFields()`](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject::getCMSFields()) implementations. However, it's common for modules to provide a specialised form field which is intended to always be used with a specific `DataObject` class. In those cases, even though you always want to use that form field with that class, you have to copy some boilerplate code from the module's documentation to set it up.
