I'm having a good conversation with myself today :)

I've tried this:

        protected override void HookPostGetEntity(PolicyEntity policyEntity)
        {
            // check if the entity's status is not "Pending"
            if (policyEntity.StatusFK != (int)StatusCode.Pending)
            {
                // if so, then convert the entity to be a "new" record
                this.CallStateChange(mmBusinessState.Adding);
                policyEntity.PolicyPK = Guid.NewGuid();
            }
        }

but i then get an exception when trying to save:

"this.oPolicy.Exception.Message: "Concurrency violation: the UpdateCommand affected 0 of the expected 1 records."

Which I guess means there's more to it than just telling the BO it is in Add mode.

Any help appreciated.
