This is probably a bit clumsy. The update method is not the appropriate place to implement
row creation. You can override the row_activated method of your table to implement the
actions you want to perform when the row is activated.

The prepare_set_request methods will not be called either! If the row already exists (because
you created it in the update method) it cannot be created again.

Hope this helps.
