May I ask for concrete examples (and files if necessary) where I can reproduce 
it? I can't find any such IssueAge in the sample data myself and DateOfBirth is 
not of much use for testing, because it's disabled in the input dialog (and not 
updated there either, BTW)...

Returning to my earlier message, I still don't understand how to validate the 
data any better. All I could find eventually was MvcController::Validate(), but 
that only deals with ranges as far as I can tell and those should already be 
constrained to disallow entering invalid data [*]. 

Also, how to update other dependent fields (e.g. DateOfBirth, IssueAge)? I 
couldn't find any code for that anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

[*] This is apparently not done correctly, otherwise your IssueAge=99 example 
couldn't happen. But I need some examples to get this right.
