Rails - Aug 2006 - issues with relationships and multiple objects on one form

Hello,

1. I have a form that edits a User and a Person at the same time.  The 
controller is for the User.  Everything works fine, except the fields 
that are populated by the Person fields lose state when validation 
fails.  Do I use params to populate the user?  I have tried a bunch of 
combinations with no luck.

2. The same users table has an integer column called 
''primary_organization_id'', where Organization references many
User
records.  The models are defined as:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :primary_organization,
             :class_name => ''Organization'',
             :foreign_key => ''primary_organization_id''

class Organization < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :primary_users,
           :class_name => ''User'',
           :foreign_key => ''primary_organization_id''

A select displays all Organizations on the User form, allowing the 
relationship to be defined using the code:

<p><label for="user_primary_organization">Primary
Organization</label>
<%= collection_select(''user'',
''primary_organization_id'', @organizations,
''id'', ''name'') %>
</p>

When I create and save a new user everything works fine.  When I open 
the user to edit it, the relationship is correct, but when I try and 
save existing user I get the error:

Unknown key(s): primary_organization_id

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
