All of my HABTM tables receive the parent created_on/last_update_on dates whenever a record is inserted into these join tables. I don''t have any defaults in the database or anything else populating these tables. I assumed rails would populate these automagically. Is there something that needs to be done to get this to populate with the correct current timestamp instead of inheritating from parent? Any help is greatly appreciated. ds -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If you need anything more than that, use a join model (has_many :through) instead. http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/articles/2006/04/20/many-to-many-dance-off -- Josh Susser http://blog.hasmanythrough.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
