Hey Coin,

I totally understand the problem and I agree that we can craft a better solution. The curators I interact with normally react fast enough to have averted this issue. If we are caught we don’t have to manually setup the extrinsic all over again, we just run a script and the id’s are updated within a new call-data hash. All descriptions, fees, recipients are held in separate storage items.

If I had to ponder a solution I would suggest something like the below. Please try to grasp the concept and appreciate that I am not a frame developer. I could probably hack away to get it functional but this is just a forum discussion.

```auto
		
		//Type to define bounty line items
		pub type bounty_line_item{
			child_curator:AccountID, //Child curator address
			fee: BalanceOf<T>, //Curator fee
			value: BalanceOf<T>, //Value to disburse
			description: Vec<u8>, //Description for child bounty
			beneficiary: Option<AccountIdLookupOf<T>> //Account receiving funds
		}
		
		
		//Decorator to ensure that all entries are executed in an atomic manner
		
		/*
		  Single extrinsic to award a child bounty and propose a child curator.
		  If the submitter is the child curator then accept the child curator position
		  and attempt to award to the beneficiary
		*/
		pub fn disburse_bounty(
			origin:OriginFor<T>,//curator
			parent_bounty_id: BountyIndex,
			bounty_entries: Vec<bounty_item> //An array of items conforming to the type above
		) -> DispatchResult{
			
			/*
			   Do verification stuff here like ensure the bounty exists,
			   that it has funds and that the origin is the curator of this bounty
			   etc.
			*/
									
			for bounty_item in bounty_entries.iter() {
				add_child_bounty(...);
				//get child bounty index and use in the following
				propose_curator(...);
				

				if(bounty_item.child_curator == Origin){ 
					accept_curator(...);
					award_child_bounty(...);
				}
			}
					
		}

```
