nestedProperties()

Allows for nested objects, structs, and arrays to be set from params and other generated data.

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
association	string	No		The association (or list of associations) you want to allow to be set through the params. This argument is also aliased as `associations`.
autoSave	boolean	No	true	Whether to save the association(s) when the parent object is saved.
allowDelete	boolean	No	false	Set this to `true` to tell CFWheels to look for the property `_delete` in your model. If present and set to a value that evaluates to true, the model will be deleted when saving the parent.
sortProperty	string	No		Set this to a property on the object that you would like to sort by. The property should be numeric, should start with 1, and should be consecutive. Only valid with `hasMany` associations.
rejectIfBlank	string	No		A list of properties that should not be blank. If any of the properties are blank, any CRUD operations will be rejected.

// In `models/User.cfc`, allow for `groupEntitlements` to be saved and deleted through the `user` object.
function config(){
	hasMany("groupEntitlements");
	nestedProperties(association="groupEntitlements", allowDelete=true);
}
