Dealing with DRAFT_MODIFICATION_ONLY_VIA_ROOT and programmatically creating drafts

[uxkjaer]

Hello.
In my current application I have a upload scenario. The upload creates a header item with multiple sub items. When I do a srv.new with my header data and nested item data in one object, the data is persisted, but my handlers for the items isn't called. I have a .before handler and also a .new handler.
If I try to only do the srv.new with the header data and the afterwards with the item data, then I get the DRAFT_MODIFICATION_ONLY_VIA_ROOT error. How can I call with a nested object and have my items passing through the expected handlers, if I do a manual create of an item, then the handlers are called.

Found my way around it by doing the update on the db instead of via the service
