注意：SO上还有其他与此相关的问题，但没有一个真正为我解答。我不担心服务器端，因为有很多方法可以处理保存相关模型信息（以及许多如何做到这一点的示例）。
我需要知道的是：如何在创建父模型的同时实现视图代码以添加许多子模型？
毫无疑问，这将是本页上的内容：http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/form.table.除了代码处理一堆模型的更新，而不是它们的插入。这正是我所需要的。
简而言之，我有一个事件表单，用户可以在其中添加许多约会（每个约会都有一天、start_time和end_time）。我想使用Yii助手在事件表单中呈现约会字段，这样我就可以获得验证和其他框架好处。
用户将能够在创建事件时为同一事件添加多个约会。
这里是完整的解决方案，享受yii的力量

该解决方案使用sluderitz开发的esaverelatedbevior来保存相关模型，您可以在这里下载

呈现模型数组的正确语法（不管它们是否是子模型）需要实例化所讨论的模型。所以在你看来，你必须这样做：
$child = new ChildModel();
$form->textFieldRow($child,'[]PROPERTY',$dateAtts);
其中，PROPERTY是要为其呈现文本框的属性的名称。
如果你想要一个单独的表单来创建和更新父模型，唯一的方法就是实例化一个mock对象来呈现表单。在我的例子中，Event有一个Appointment集合，所以在我的控制器操作中我做了：
$event->appointments = array(new Appointment);
然后，在视图中
<?php foreach($model->appointments as $id => $item) : ?>
<div class="appointment">
<?php echo $form->textFieldRow($item,'[$id]day',$htmlAtts); ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
我将尝试此扩展以保存相关模型：https://github.com/yiiext/with-related-behavior
更新
如果要在$_POST中的父模型数组中包含子模型，则必须覆盖name属性。按照问题示例。。。
$form->textFieldRow(
$item,
'[$id]day',
array('name' => "Event[appointments][$id][day]")
);
