Of course not. The create method creates a blank new object that's not
related in any way to any other objects, yet.

Is there some object.getJobs().add(newJobFile) you can use?

I'd expect that object, being of type job list would have a getJobs()
method that returns a list and that you could add a newJobFile to it.
Of course in the generated editor, you'd have the option to create a new
child job for it, right?

Thanks,
It looks like using the following does what I wanted:
((JobListTypeImpl)object).getJob().add(newJobFile);
