[Zope] How to make two racks work under one specialist?

[Dirksen]

Hi Steve,

I've made my experiment simple, by playing with the DumbZPatterns examples, testing one
rack under one specialist. Here is the skinscript:

WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE
     name=name, dueDate=dueDate, description=description, todoIDs=todoIDs

WITH SELF COMPUTE
     name=name,
     dueDate='1973/01/01',
     description='unknown achee',
     todoIDs=[]

The virtual instance is loaded by accessing attribute of 'name'. I thought any calls for
inexistent objects in Deliverables would turn out default values. Yet the test result
turned out an not_found error. The following modification (change to 'otherwise' clause)
didn't make a difference: 

WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE
     name=name, dueDate=dueDate, description=description, todoIDs=todoIDs
OTHERWISE LET
     name='unknown',
     dueDate='1973/01/01',
     description='unknown achee',
     todoIDs=[]


One more question, i.e. the following expression
WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE name, dueDate, description, todoIDs

also trigered the 'not_known' error for every objects in Deliverables. Where goes wrong?
