I have a "Users" object and
a "Timesheets" object. Each timesheet entry belongs to a User, which
is
selected from a drop-down list. The timesheet has a user_id field. (The
user needs to have an option to select a different user due to the way
our system works.)
If i use the "select" object, which is bound to the Timesheet model,
using this code:
<%= select ''timesheet'', ''user_id'',
User.find_all.collect {|p|
[p.username, p.id]} %>
Then the list defaults to the first option. I''d like it to default to
the logged in user though. I can do this using select_tag with
options_from_collection_for_select without a problem, but then I lose
the functionality of having the field linked to the table. If i use a
select_tag, I''m forced to add additional code in the Create method to
get the user_id into the new record (which just doesn''t seem to follow
the kiss/dry principles).
Thanks!

One way would be to put @timesheet.user_id session[:logged_in_user_id_or_whatever] in the controller action for this view. select() just defaults the selection to the current value returned by the method.
