Gentlemen, I have searched the group and have not found any post that clarifies thsi s=issue to me. Please forgive me in advance if I missed something. I have 3 models: Ticket has_many :citations, :dependent => :nullify has_many :violations, :through => :citations Violation has_many :citations, :dependent => :nullify has_many :tickets, :through => :citations Citation belongs_to :ticket belongs_to :violation I am creating the edit a new views for the ticket and would like to be able to relate N violations to the ticket. My intent is to have one select box with a control to add N more if desired. The problem I am running into is getting the select boxes created in a way such that (1) existing items select the correct entry in the select box and (2) when I post the form, Rails recognizes that I am trying to create N relations. I have tried following examples for a has_many relationship, but it is not working the same. Following is my current code: edit.html.erb: ... <% form_for @ticket do |f| %> <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => { :f => f } %> <%= submit_tag ''Update Ticket'' %> <% end %> ... _form.html.erb: ... <%= render :partial => ''violation'', :collection => @ticket.violations, :locals => { :f => f, :valid_violations => Violation.find (:all) } %> ... _violation.html.erb: ... <%= f.collection_select :violations, valid_violations, :id, :name %> ... Should I be referencing the citation instead of the violation? I cannot figure out where this needs to go. Please help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
