Any ideas on this would be great, I''m trying to edit some drop down lists, the collection _select below does everthing I want it to do and updates the database successfully but doesn''t show the default value of the drop down when it appears <%=collection_select(''assigned''+assigned.id.to_s, :qual_id, @quals,:id, :screen_qual)%> Because of this i started to play with the select statement below instead, this causes the drop downs to display properly with the correct stored values <%=select_tag(''assigned''+assigned.id.to_s, options_from_collection_for_select(@quals, :id, :screen_qual, assigned.qual_id))%> but when i try to submit causes an error ''We''re sorry, but something went wrong. We''ve been notified about this issue and we''ll take a look at it shortly.'' Am i doing somehtinf obviously wrong? Assigned is a join table between Degree and Qual, the edit function is on a single degree page.
