This is what I need:
Create an object. Create several objects that are children of that newly created object. But need to do it all in ONE form, and to be able to add children of the newly created node, while the object is still in edit mode.
Is this possible, and how?

Hi!
I haven't tried this but code shows that this is not possible to publish object below object which is not published yet.
Yes you can create an seperate module for this in which first you publish parent node and after that try to publish all the children but I dought if it will be possible to validate attributes of children node using this method :-(

Hi,
Gurudutt Verma is right.
If you only have simple attributes (text, xmlarea, int...), you can write your own module, create the parent node, populate its attribute, publish it, create the children node, populate the attributes and publish them.
Have a look at the contrib (eg the ObjectCreator extension/ObjectCreator/modules/ObjectCreator/ezobjectcreator.php ) for the code.
