If I understand you correctly the team gets associated in the edit form 
and not in the add form? That probably means the team n:1 relation has 
probably the flag AF_HIDE_EDIT, right? So why don't you change that, and 
let the user directly associate the project with a certain team when 
creating a new project? This makes it possible to use the postAdd method 
because the team information will be available then.

If for some reason this is not what you want (or is impossible for your 
situation), use the postUpdate(...) method. Like you said, this method 
*does* exists and is called after editing (ans saving) a record.
